Hello Sinclair and Everybody

Thanks for this interesting advise. I have tried to act accordingly.
However, after installing network-manager-gnome, uninstalling wicd and
restarting, the systray applet simply did not show up. Moreover: there
was no internet connection at all. The only way to get properly
connected again, was going to "netroot", reinstalling wicd and
completely removing again network-manager-gnome.

Is there anything else I need to take into account in order to get
network-mananager-gnome working?

Respectfully yours,

Bas.
