On my Slitaz 5.0 installation I cannot start wicd.
[c]tux@slitaz:~$ wicd-gtk --no-tray &

In /var/log/wicd I find only an empty file. Wicd does not accept the correct root passwd.
Anybody else having the same problem?

Please try this: http://cook.slitaz.org/packages/wicd-1.7.2.4.tazpkg

As usual: thanks a lot for the quick response!!!
Can I try that with Slitaz 4.0 as well? Stay tuned, I will test it this evening.;-)

Problem,wicd won't autostart on my system...
It adds /etc/xdg/autostart/wicd-tray.desktop which autostarts wicd-gtk
When wicd-gtk starts and can't connect to wicd-daemon it asks for password.
I add wicd to DAEMONS= of /etc/rcS.conf
The bootlog message indicates wicd started but when I run [c]ps -A | grep wicd[/c] its not running.
Someone else will have to figure out this problem.

Hmmh, here it autostarts - but with the old problem. Nothing has changed! I did not yet add wicd to the Daemons in /etc/rcS.conf. And there is no log-file in /var/log/wicd.
The result is this:

I had removed the old package and installed the new wicd-1.7.2.4.tazpkg package.

I had removed the old package and installed the new wicd-1.7.2.4.tazpkg package.
Now, after having added the daemon to /etc/rcS.conf and rebooting, the new error message is:
„ Wicd daemon due to an access denied error from DBus. Please check that your user is in the users group.“
I started it manually as root: wicd-client &
Now it opened and started to work, but could not connect:

I use a local small WLAN that is set up with WEP. Shared-restricted: this works under Mandriva.

Michael, you might try connman - it is in the repos
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Connman
for UMTS support you need also ophono + usb-modeswitch

@kultex
Thank you very much! Unfortunately before Friday I am on the road but I will report here then! Anyway, there seem to be some configuration problems with wicd under Slitaz and I just wanted to keep people informed about that. Wicd under Debian Squeeze works out of the box, with this small WLAN as well, of course.

Ok, I now checked my Slitaz 4.0 Wifi in our local Linux group. With Connman I had no success, Wicd does not start and I was not able to correct it. But with tazpanel I could start the Wifi connection. It was difficut to follow it on the command line, though.
To be frank: how the Slitaz wifi configuration works I did not yet understand. Network manager and these wifi tools seem to bite each other. My impression as a non-technician. Thanks for your patience!

@michaelbishof
documentation is here: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy
how I use it: normally it runs the default /etc/network.conf file - with the wired cable
then I have some .desktop files with wifi connections I use often in /home/tux/.local/share/applications
the configs in /home/tux/.net
for example my desktopentry for the train is: OEBB.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=1-OEBB
Exec=tazbox su /etc/init.d/network.sh restart /home/tux/.net/OEBB.conf
Icon=network-wireless
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
OEBB.conf looks like this (only important lines)
INTERFACE="eth1"
DHCP="yes"
STATIC="no"
WIFI="yes"
# Wifi interface (iwconfig) and ESSID.
WIFI_INTERFACE="eth1"
WIFI_ESSID="OEBB"
WIFI_AP=""
WIFI_MODE="managed"
WIFI_KEY=""
WIFI_KEY_TYPE="off"
WPA_DRIVER=""
WIFI_CHANNEL=""
WIFI_IWCONFIG_ARGS=""
if I am in a hotel (use the internet connection only once), I open this OEBB configuration (to get up the wireless hardware) - then the wifi - box - I see all the wifis available - select the wifi essid, then enter the password and it works......

Thank you, kultex!
One question:
why do you use
„WIFI_INTERFACE="eth1"
instead of „WIFI_INTERFACE="wlan0"?
Thanks for to remember me to use wifibox instead of this wicd (which I cannot move to work, somehow).

because my wireless hardware (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG) comes up as eth1
