wicd is a wired and wireless network manager for Linux. Some features include: - Ability to connect to wired and wireless networks - Profiles for each wireless network and wired network - Many encryption schemes, some of which include WEP/WPA/WPA2 - Compatible with wireless-tools You will need to start the wicd service at boot by adding the following to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start fi This should default to using dhcpcd after installation unless you have a previous installation that uses dhclient; in that case, you will have a .new file lying around in /etc/wicd/ to remove. You need to stop wicd before upgrading the package if you have a previous version installed, and be sure to restart it after the upgrade. If you are upgrading from wicd-1.4.x, the migration script might be useful. However, it is untested and comes with no guarantees - back up first.
