Installation of Wicd should be done using your distribution package if one
exists.  If not, the installation is relatively straightforward, but there
are a few dependencies:
  1. python (>=2.4, <3.0)
  2. pygtk (>=2.10)
  2. dbus and its glib and python bindings
  3. a dhcp client (dhclient, dhcpcd, and pump are supported)
  4. wireless-tools (iwlist, iwconfig, etcetera)
  5. net-tools (ip, route, etcetera)
  6. a graphical sudo application (gksu, kdesu, and ktsuss are supported),
     while optional, is strongly recommended
  7. urwid (if you want to use the curses client - needs version >=0.9.8.3)
  8. pm-utils (optional for suspend/resume integration)
     Wicd supports using versions >=1.2.4 -- earlier versions may work just
     fine, but they are completely unsupported here.


It seems pm-utils is optional for wicd, also %{_libdir}/pm-utils/sleep.d is
owned by filesystem.

I found that iproute and ethtool are alternatives for net-tools, is those
dependencies are really needed?

See http://packages.debian.org/sid/wicd-daemon


I also wonder whether those acpid scripts are need for fedora, thing we now
have pm-utils.

%{_sysconfdir}/acpi/suspend.d/50-wicd-suspend.sh
