# rc-update add wicd boot
$ wicd-client
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

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 $?
}
