Re: Wicd

Have you followed the wireless setup guide and installed drivers etc?

Re: Wicd

It seems like you had wicd working at some point in the past, but since the reinstall did you add 'wlan0' as the Wireless Interface in Preferences? 

Sometimes wicd doesn''t pick it up off the bat.

Re: Wicd

I have no idea if this will work, but since Alltel was bought by Verizon, it is at least in the realm of possibility:
