Re: can't get wicd to work
DID IT: SAME RESULT. SYS CAN'T SEE WIRELESS:

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I REDIRECTED THE OUTPUT OF THE INSTALL AND ALL SEEMS WELL IN IT. THERE
WERE SEVERAL OF THESE:
"4GWireless Extension is enabled in kernel"
HERE IS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE RELEVANT STUFF IN DMESG. IT SEEMS TO BE
IDENTICAL TO THE PREVIOUS:
