If you have only an Ethernet adapter (no wifi connection) there is no need to use wicd. Just run netconfig again as root and when asked how to configure your network choose DHCP.
I got wicd to work again with the wired connection. I got it to work by doing this. Under then wired network i pressed the add button then for profile name i named it eth0. Then su to root and do killall dhcpcd. Then hit connection button on wicd. Now it's working fine.
