Re: Wicd takes a long time
To the Grey Geek,
All removed OK.
My Synaptic Package manager no longer opens; it asks for a password but then nothing happens.
KPackageKit opens but it tells me I have no Network connection.
I am now stuck again.

Yes the router is a DHCP server.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
and
cat /etc/network/interfaces
No such file or directory
cat /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh
yeilded the following:
and
ifconfig
returned this:
all of this was done after the Grey Geeks suggestion.
