[solved]Autostart wireless

IS there a way for wireless to autostart with xfce4?
Wicd doesn't seem to work,when I click on it nothing happens.
WHen I install KDEmod,my wireless goes down,this only happens when instaliing kdemod.
I tried changing my kdemod servers but that didn't help.

Re: [solved]Autostart wireless

With WICD it's fairly simple, select the autoconnect button and start the wicd daemon on boot and start the wicd-client

I can't because when I click on wicd nothing happens.
And when I type  wicd-client in the terminal,nothing pops up.
This is what I get

I use NetworkManager with Xfce and it auto connects to wireless networks.
