Hi, I just noticed that under Kmenu > System Settings > Advanced >
Hardware > Network Management Backend that only Network Manager and Fake
Net are listed, wicd in not. All I can do there is move one up or the
other down in the list, but I can't delete Network Manager or add wicd.
It this a problem with System Settings? Perhaps this is causing the
problem with wicd not working properly?
