Description: wired and wireless network manager
 Wicd is a general-purpose network configuration server which aims to 
provide a simple but flexible interface for connecting to networks. Its 
features include: wide variety of settings.
 * ability to connect to (and maintain profiles for) both wired and 
wireless networks;
 * support for many encryption schemes, including WEP, WPA, WPA2 and 
custom schemes;
 * wireless-tools compatibility;
 * tray icon showing network activity and signal strength;
 * lack of GNOME dependencies (although it does require GTK+), making 
it easy to use in Xfce, Fluxbox, Openbox, Enlightenment, etc.
