Wireless connection - an apparent solution.
In /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections I found a file 2WIRE048,
which had been created when networking in Lubuntu:

<quote>
[connection]
id=2WIRE048
uuid=[modem's uuid number]
type=802-11-wireless

[802-11-wireless]
ssid=2WIRE048
mode=infrastructure
mac-address=[modem's mac-address]
security=802-11-wireless-security

[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=none
wep-key0=[10 digit WEP key]

[ipv4]
method=auto

[ipv6]
method=auto
</quote>

I copied this into a new file named 2WIRE[number], then filled in the
appropriate id, ssid, mac-address, and wep-key0 (which in this case is
wpa2-key0).  The uuid didn't seem to matter, but maybe best to find
and use it.
Then ran wicd, which used the new file and connected successfully.
NOTE: in wicd click on the network's Properties, then the Information
button to get mac-address and encryption type.
