Yes, as far as I understand, I should have noticed the problem otherwise yesterday, when I ran two different instances of Lubuntu 14.04, one with the non-pae kernel, one 64-bit system. > In my computer/Bento Trusty install, I have switched to > wicd/wicd-daemon/wicd-gtk > yesterday, and it all works fine since.

I have a bad experience from wicd in the pre-alpha versions of ToriOS. Maybe because I don't understand it, but I could never make it work properly, while Network manager 'always works' after my tweaks according to this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall#Unmanaged_Wired_Network >> 2. runs live and can install into an IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M, >> that lacks PAE flag, but has PAE capability.
