^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1. Check to ensure that your wicd was updated:
$ apt-cache policy wicd
Should return 1.5.9-2

2. Open wicd and check your default preferences. They should show wlan0
and eth0.

3. Check /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net_rules to see if the proper
mac address (00:c0:49:54:77:9e?) is associated with eth0 and wlan0.
