Yes, /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf is adapted to the static parameters which work properly when using /etc/network/interfaces . > But anyhow remember wicd is just a gui, Also a daemon. Ref. wicd.man. "STRUCTURE Wicd has two major parts: the daemon, which runs with root privileges; and the user interface, which runs with normal user privileges. The two parts run as separate processes and make use of D-Bus to communicate." > your hardware need to be fully > recognized first (does it shows up with "ifconfig -a" ?). Yes. ifconfig reports both lo and eth2. But eth2 does not have the address & etc. specified in wired-settings.conf. The machine has no wireless device attached. When eth2 is not configured according to /etc/network/interfaces, wicd should configure according to the default in /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf ... shouldn't it?
