Hello,

Having issues with the wireless set up on this machine. Its running xcfe and has Wicd 1.7.0 network manager installed.

So I am confused what to do next to make it have a functioning wireless. I have wicd as a network manager but nothing comes up on the wireless. Have completed the directions here http://wiki.debian.org/wl so am a little lost what to do to make iot work.

Thank you
