I never did figure out (or remember) how to use wpa_supplicant, although
IIRC connecting to a wifi network is just two commands.
1) Follow this howto:
http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-wifi-roaming-with-wpa-supplicant/
2) change the config file to set the gid of the control interface
and make yourself a member of this group,
3) then install wpa_gui
This is a modular set up which involves the traditional ifupdown
mechanism, and in which wpa_supplicant is running in daemon mode and
wpa_gui is a graphical config helper for it. If you also want some
roaming for Ethernet, then you also need ifplugd. wpa_gui is provided
upstream together with wpa_supplicant, but some people dislike it
because it is based on Qt.
If you prefer to completely bypass ifupdown and
/etc/network/interfaces, and integrate all in one app, then I understood
netman is doing what you want; AFAIU, netman is the daemon and it
invokes wpa_supplicant in non-daemon mode.
I don't know where wicd is in this plot.
