Hi, for wicd to work you need an empty /etc/network/interfaces file (except lo). Then in wicd preferences you can choose to (or not): "always switch to a wired connection when available" (no) and "prompt for wired network profile" (instead of "use default wired network profile"). Connection profiles are kept under /etc/wicd/wire[d][less]-settings.conf, modify at will. But anyhow remember wicd is just a gui, your hardware need to be fully recognized first (does it shows up with "ifconfig -a" ?).
