Description:
Wicd is designed to give the user as much control over behavior of network
connections as possible.  Every network, both wired and wireless, has its
own profile with its own configuration options and connection behavior.
Wicd will try to automatically connect only to networks the user specifies
it should try, with a preference first to a wired network, then to wireless.

Purpose:
Wicd is an alternative to NetworkManager for people who want something like
NetworkManager, but not requiring GNOME.  It is gaining popularity among
non-GNOME users simply because it has multiple clients as opposed to requiring
nm-applet for everything.  Wicd is written in Python and provides a daemon and
three clients (cli, curses, gtk).  It is not as full-featured as
NetworkManager, but for most people it fits the bill.  Especially users wanted
to slim down a system or just not run GNOME.
