====== wicd ======

===== Installation =====


  * Remove all net.* initscripts (except for net.lo) from all runlevels

  * Add these scripts to the RC_PLUG_SERVICES line in /etc/conf.d/rc. (For example, RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0 !net.wlan0")

  # rc-update add wicd boot

  * Starten:

  $ wicd-client


===== Tuning =====


Lastly, the wicd init.d script needs to be updated to include dbus and hald as dependencies otherwise the wireless card may not be found. So go into /etc/init.d/wicd and add them:


  #!/sbin/runscript
  # Copyright 1999-2006 Gentoo Foundation
  # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
  
  opts="start stop restart"
  
  WICD_DAEMON=/usr/sbin/wicd
  WICD_PIDFILE=/var/run/wicd/wicd.pid
  
  depend() {
          need dbus
          need hald
  }
  
  start() {
          ebegin "Starting wicd daemon"
          "${WICD_DAEMON}" >/dev/null 2>&1
          eend $?
  }
  
  stop() {
          ebegin "Stopping wicd daemon"
          start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "${WICD_PIDFILE}"
          eend $?
  }
