user1,
Well, if you had asked me this in Karmic or Hardy I would definitively 
advice wicd. However in Lucid, since apparently both can run 
side-by-side, I would stick with NM as apparently when they both are 
active there is some mysterious D-bus conflict, resulting that 
wicd-client dies not run.
I advice you to use next to NM (or wicd) wifi radar which gives you all 
wireless modems in your vicinity, something NM does not that easy.
