Mike,

   In NM via the nm-applet. That works.

   Your gut may be correct. I suspect the hardware because I've used WICD on
a different Sony Vaio and two different Toshiba models. Also with different
Slackware versions.

   I'll go to ENU and buy a USB radio and see what that does; they might even
let me try it out there first.
