WICD networks file

Can someone tell me what is the location of the file in which WICD stores information about wifi networks (i,e, names and passwords)?

Re: WICD networks file

Fixing the title might improve your chances.

I don't use wireless so I can't help, but the output of pacman -Ql wicd might help narrow things down.

It's 'wicd' not 'wics'.

Maybe 'pacman -Ql wicd | grep wireless' will help narrow it down :-)

usr/share/man/man5/wicd-wireless-settings.conf.5.gz
usr/share/man/nl/man5/wicd-wireless-settings.conf.5.gz

Lucky guess, or best RTFM ever?

Re: WICD networks file

It's not so easy. Those files say

This file contains configuration information for wireless interfaces in Wicd.
.br
This file is located at /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf

and wicd config files in /etc/wicd/ are empty even though wicd has some networks saved.
