What pgm reads the /etc/network/interfaces file? (Installation WPA worked great! Too bad I messed with it!)

Oh God, I hear that music playing again.  Sure there are issues with 
NetworkManager - but there are issues with Wicd too, and it's not as well 
supported by Ubuntu.  I see 14 bugs filed against wicd, all but 1 one of 
them still "New" - they're not getting much action.  Network-manager has far 
more open bugs (565) but 60% of them are getting _some_ attention.

Sure, go ahead install wicd but don't expect to be able to get much help if 
it doesn't work.
