wicd is pretty dead. It uses deprecated kernel features that will be removed at some point and with no maintainer for wicd, it will just stop working.

- vezzy-fnord 12y agoWould you care to list those deprecated features, or provide a source? I know wicd is a dead or dying project, but I didn't know it was that critical.
- mikepurvis 12y agoRight, that's the main issue with wicd— it's a dead-end, but the usability of its curses text UI is still way nicer than connman. So you get a devil's bargain between shipping something nice-to-use that's eventually going to break everywhere vs. something faster, smaller, and newer which is user-hostile and is being actively developed (ie, has some weird bugs not really yet worked out).
