Russell, I'm not trying to do that, but to create an automatic if-up for wlan0. With some more insight I now know I need only lo and inet in /etc/network/interfaces as soon as I can apt-get install wicd. The WICD client should connect to both the local, static IP addresses network and external DHCP addresses networks. It seems like a conundrum: I need to access the 'Net to get wicd, but without wicd NetworkManager is not connecting to the local network via the wireless interface (which is not running). I also tried to bring up the wlan0 interface but must have had the incorrect syntax.
