I'm not opposed to network manager. However it got uninstalled (I obviously 
missed it in the list of what got removed, I think it was some apt-get 
autoremove). I had to install networking back from packages I downloaded from 
another install and I went for wicd because it seemed to have less 
dependancies.

Also, AFAIK, wicd does not do this fake-MAC-Address that seems to be so fancy 
now, and where I work we get identiified by the MAC address.
