Hi...

I don't know any of the dependencies that wicd requires so if at all possible, it might be better if you could find a public hotspot near where you live and download them to your system....if I understand correctly that you are downloading the packages from another computer and burning them to CD to install on yours?

Regards...

IF you have a wireless router from which you are wanting to get dhcpd IP assignments you may have the ability to plug a length of Ethernet category 5 cable from an Ethernet port in back to an Ethernet port on your PC. If you haven't removed all of the networkmanagement tools it may automatically connect.

Then you can do
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wicd
sudo apt-get install wicd-cli
sudo apt-get install wicd-curses
sudo apt-get install wicd-daemon
sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk
sudo apt-get install python-urwid
sudo apt-get install python-wicd

This will give you the complete wicd suit. Some of the last commands may give you an message stating that "the newest version is already installed."

Then remove the following:
sudo apt-get remove modemmanager
sudo apt-get remove network-manager
sudo apt-get remove network-manager-openconnect
sudo apt-get remove network-manager-openvpn
sudo apt-get remove network-manager-pptp
sudo apt-get remove network-manager-vpnc
sudo apt-get remove knm-runtime
sudo apt-get remove network-manager-kde
sudo apt-get remove plasma-widget-networkmanagement

If any one of those commands gives you an "application not installed", or something similar, then go on to the next. When you have installed and removed all the apps then reboot your PC. When it comes back up open a Konsole and issue
sudo apt-get autoremove
to clean up orphaned libraries and dependencies.
Then, locate the "wicd network manager" menu item under K --> Internet and left click on it. Enable your wireless and scan for your access point, etc...
