If you happen to do the latest "Jessie" update (or use PPAs from Jessie) you might find your Wifi won't work with wicd-curses properly any more. This is because it changes the /etc/network/interfaces file from this:
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
to this:
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
There is a bug fix for wpa_supplicant package installer, but it hasn't been fixed yet...
To fix it just manually edit the /etc/network/interfaces page to this:
Code: Select all
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
and it should work sweet!
Took me ages to find that, so check your /etc/network/interfaces file first!
