I only have /etc/network/interfaces populated:
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid xxxxx
wpa-psk yyyyyy
And wpa_supplicant runs as:
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /run/wpa_supplicant.ra0.pid -i ra0 -D wext
-C /run/wpa_supplicant
wicd-daemon is also running with it's own configuration files. Dunno if
it has any effect on the wireless connection, I normally use ifup/ifdown
ra0 and similar for eth0.
/usr/share/wicd/daemon/{wicd-daemon.py, monitor.py, wicd-client.py
