I was wondering if there was a good replacement for wicd.I don't want to use network-manager
Thanks

Distro? Desktop environment? Type of connection? What's wrong with wicd? What's wrong with network-manager?

More questions than answers I'm afraid.

My distro is Debian on xfce wifi connection. I read that network-manager is not the best option for wireless. My problem with wicd is that I cannot connect to my wifi connection. It says Connection Failed Bad Password

NetworkManager has greatly improved. I used wicd for years, but I switched recently. Networkmanager seems to work better.

try ceni

Debian has a really excellent wiki on setting up your wifi:

http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi

I have personally used network-manager, wicd, and ceni on Debian Xfce. They all worked perfectly fine once properly configured. Network manager is the recommended and default for Debian so why not start there? If you patiently follow the steps in the link above, ask specific questions when you get stuck, and provide more details (such as what is your wireless card chipset?) then I'm sure we can help you.

At the risk of stating the obvious, check that your password is correct and your caps lock isn't on when you type it.

wifi-radar
ceni
network-manager
wicd


Personally i usse ceni to setup roaming then use wicd to connect
