I noticed this problem after upgrading to Lucid. After removing wicd, I went to try network-manager, and discovered it was already installed and running. After removing network-manager, and re-installing wicd, it works fine. Perhaps the problem is that installing Lucid's wicd package doesn't uninstall network-manager, and they have a race to see who controls the wireless.
