In addition to firmware, you need to tell wicd where your wireless hardware
is (usually wlan0).  I'm sure there's some good reason why it can't find it
without being told, but it's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of wicd.
Bring up the main screen, go to Preferences, and you'll see where to put it.

It should see the wired interface, but that may be a firmware issue also.
