+ <para><application>Wicd</application> is a network manager written in
+ Python. It simplifies network setup by automatically detecting and
+ connecting to wireless and wired networks. Wicd includes support for WPA
+ authentication and DHCP configuration. It provides Curses- and GTK-based
+ graphical frontends for user-friendly control. An excellent KDE-based
+ frontend is also available
