Looks promising. Unfortunately the Ubuntu package for it conflicts with
Network Manager, and wicd doesn't support VPNs.

Perhaps it can be force installed, as long as you are careful to make
sure NM is configured not to manage the wireless interface. And I'm sure
the VPN could be managed without the GUI. But I'm not sure either option
 is worth it just to have a WLAN that connects faster.

I'll bookmark wicd and check back after they've released the 2.0 version
that will support VPNs.
