[Tfug] Anybody try "wicd" as a replacement for Network Manager?

[Earl]

I am using wext too.  That was the default and worked and still works.  I'm using 7.04.  Did you install it on Feisty and then upgrade or do they have a version for Gutsy (I think that is what you are using)

suggestions?  It was working fine until I shut it down and restarted.
