Thanks for responding.

wicd has indeed been removed from Chimaera. Sadly, there are reports of
frustration that the available options are not as intuitive as wicd.
However, there is hope! Someone is looking at transitioning wicd to
python3 so keep your fingers crossed.

To fill a gap, rrq has provided a "classic" networking "how-to" that
will be included in the www documentation. It is already available on
the netinstall isos:
