	Well I got NM to replace wicd, and then I was unable to get 
NM to even connect to a wired Internet. Worried about this a 
little and tried to view /etc/network/interfaces and was 
horrified to see I had a lot of weird things in operation. I 
got the joe editor working and got looking like this:

  karl at Jaunty:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.2.6
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# gateway 192.168.0.1

# auto eth0

# auto lo
# auto eth1
# auto eth0

# iface lo inet loopback
# iface eth1 inet dhcp
# iface eth0 inet static

# address 192.168.2.6
# netmask 255.255.255.0

	Then The NM worked. First thing out of the box I did this:

$ sudo apt-get install wicd

	And now all is cool on 9.04
