Promising but no improvement.
DN servers are specified in wired-settings.conf
but wicd failed to set them. Here is
/etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf and /var/log/wicd/wicd.log.
[wired-default]
afterscript = None
broadcast = 142.n.107.254
dns3 = None
postdisconnectscript = None
search_domain = pathology.ubc.ca
dns_domain = None
lastused = False
use_static_dns = True
default = 1
netmask = 255.255.255.128
gateway = 142.n.107.254
dns2 = 142.n.1.1
beforescript = None
predisconnectscript = None
ip = 142.n.107.139
dns1 = 137.82.1.1
use_global_dns = False

etc.
When eth2 is reinstated in /etc/network/interfaces, the
Linksys USB200M works again.
newton:/var/log/wicd# ifconfig eth2

Incidentally, I've heard of "search domain". What
is dns_domain?
Any further ideas for tips?
Thanks, ... p. crawford
