I just installed wicd, had it working and everything, and then after I restarted X and wicd, it said I wasn't connected. The internet still worked, though; firefox was fine and I was torrenting at about 60 Kbps. Then, after a reboot, the whole thing went. Also, hal failed during the boot process, but I don't see why -- the only changes I made to DAEMONS was adding wicd and removing networkmanager/dhcpdbd, as per the wiki. Here's my rc.conf:

Figured it out. For anyone else switching from networkmanager to wicd, make you don't uninstall wireless_tools when you remove networkmanager (or reinstall it if you do).
