At home I use a wired connection so did notice the following problem
until I traveled and tried to connect wirelessly.
The problem must have started sometime within the past month.

If I have wicd started by systemd, i.e.
systemctl enable wicd
The wired network is started fine but not the wireless.  Instead, I see
in the systemd journal

wicd[290]: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wired  error: No
such file or directory
wicd[290]: Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wireless  error: No
such file or directory

If I instead systemctl disable wicd, reboot, and then manually type
wpa_supplicant -i wireless -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
it works.

Indeed after I have booted I can start wicd and cannot get the error
above, but the actual behavior is not consistent.

My system is ~amd64, profile gnome/systemd

My wireless driver is from the package broadcom-sta (wl)

thanks in advance for any help.
