Have you tried a "sudo apt-get purge wicd", then "sudo apt-get install
--install-recommends network-manager-gnome"? You would probably need to
have a liveCD added as a repository source...either that, or you could
just be able to install NM over wicd and have it removed because of
conflicts...

I have had the exact opposite experience... NM has always worked
flawlessly for me since I started using ubuntu around 6.06 (though I've
never actually used wicd, so i guess its not EXACT opposite...). afaik,
NM is probably the only app that I've never managed to break. Why do you
say that NM sucks? I'm curious to try and break it now if it does indeed
have flaws that I just haven't yet discovered.
