Network|Create an add-hoc network|
ESSID:
IP:
Channel:
x Activate Internet Connection Sharing
x Use Encryption (WEP only)

But I'm not sure what you are getting at. The essid is set at the
AP/Router. wicd obtains that information from 'sudo iwlist scan'. If the
essid is hidden, then all you need to do is: Network|Find a hidden
network|Hidden Network ESSID|Connect.
