Comment 10 for bug 140422

Hi,

We are not in the M$ Windows world. No need to do the manual uninstall, install monkey business ;-)

First make sure that you first add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://apt.wicd.net <ubuntu version> extras
where <ubuntu version> is your version of Ubuntu in lowercase (dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy).

Then run the following commands:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install wicd

Doing this should automatically remove networkmanager and then install wicd

Regards,

Mark
