Yes; as specified in http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#OtherGUI
and my original message.

Well, the phenomenon is observed as the
system reaches the console in multi-user mode.
No GUI is running yet.

Yes, /etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf is adapted to the
static parameters which work properly when using
/etc/network/interfaces .

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."

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?
