I have made a prototype wireless config tool.
It can: 


Install wicd daemon silently (with debconf) 
Config a wless connection 
Test connection 
The GUI is very simple, you can only connect to a named ssid. My wicd wrapper 
can do more stuff (all?), but the GUI is just a first test.

If anyone wants to test:


Code:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17892827/script.linux.wireless.prototype-0.0.4.zip
If your user is not xbmc this have to be changed in settings.

You need wired net while installing wicd in this version.

I have only tested with WPA2 so far.

I have not decided if this should go any further than a prototype. I welcome 
suggestions.
The major problem is that I cannot get dbus to work in xbmc-python, instead I 
have to use a shell command to access the wrapper. I don't like that. The whole 
point with writting the wrapper was to avoid this.

Anyway, it does work and the end result is the same as if wicd-curses or 
wicd-cli was used. (the wrapper is based on both but mostly -cli that I 
re-wrote to be accesed from xbmc-addon)
If it should go any further I have to re-write it a bit and parse the stderr & 
stdout at all steps. Unless of course someone can help deal with the dbus.
I also need help with the gui.
