I'm running Debian Wheezy with Gnome 3.2If you can, the best solution is to use wpa_supplicant to identify your networks and provide appropriate authentication. It just takes a littleediting of the wpa_supplicant.conf. There's also a gui for it if you prefer,archwiki has the best howto for it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant#Dynamic_method:_.27wpa_gui.27.2C_.27wpa_cli.27
Thanks, I will look into that.
NM is not the most reliable piece of software, and wicd only allows one networkinterface to be used at a time last I tried it.
I've been pretty happy with Network Manager over the last couple of years. Before that it was wicd, but I was under the impression that wicd was lagging development wise and not all up to date.
