About wicd, for the free part i can test on my side (rj45 connexion).
This being a yeeloong, I can only assume wifi will be its most used
connection - thats the point of a system this size.
If wicd will replace network-manager, I assume it will do so on all
architectures. Then it can't hurt to also test a cable connection on
i386, as Aurélien did.
The most useful comparaison i can make on it between network manager
is :: no way are already existing/writing to install a vpn connexion.
On network-manager, you have a pre-installed solution to follow to
install it.
This made no sense to me :/
I assume this means that network-manager lets you set up a VPN
connection, but that wicd doesn't have that feature.
I can add that I've been running wicd for some days now on my Yeeloong
in a place with generally bad wifi connectivity and I think it's doing
pretty good. I don't have any concrete measurements (apart from: I don't
really notice it's there and I don't swear at it), but my feeling is
that it performs as good (possibly better) as the network-manager I had
installed from config.fsf.org.
