At this stage, I would run wicd-curses (not as root) and type P.
I would make sure the Wireless and Wired Interfaces were correctly
named wlan0 and eth0, set automatic reconnection and any other options
I wanted, save that, scan for APs with Fn5, select one and press ->
to configure it. I would remove the ethernet cable because I have
that set to take priority. After saving the configuration, I'd press
Return and hope to have a wireless connection come up.
It's too long since I bothered to configure all this through
/etc/network/interfaces, which reminds me: for wicd to manage
the network, you should comment all but
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
in that file.
Cheers,
David.
