Hello. I recently obtained a used laptop, which I fixed up. It is relatively good (IE, a Pentium IV) so I'm not too worried about it being able to power the applications I'm hoping to run. Generally, I prefer using a less cluttered machine with minimal software. So, I loaded the laptop with lxde. In doing so, I made sure to install the non-free firmware files from a usb stick.
In trying to find wireless connections, I used wicd, following the steps at http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#Wicd. This, however, did not work. It simply stated that no network connections had been found. However, I then reinstalled gnome on the laptop, and the network software there did find various network connections (aka wifi). So, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can get the same functionality within lxde using wicd (or using something else).
