Wicd is an alternative to Network Manager''The following instructions were written for wicd 1.6.2. To install it 2 on Debian systems, run <code>sudo apt-get install wicd</code>Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. Installing it will uninstall Network ManagerIf other versions or distributions have significantly different steps, so please add those instructions or make sure you already have your certificate downloaded.

Wicd is an alternative to Network Manager. To install it on Debian-based systems, run <code>sudo apt-get install wicd</code>. Installing it will uninstall Network Manager, so make sure you already have your certificate downloaded. Unlike Network Manager, you do not need to convert the PKCS#12 certificate that CNS provides to a set of PEM certificates. Open wicd, either from the tray icon or from Applications->Internet->Wicd Network Manager. Allow wicd to scan the wireless networks then check the "Automatically connect to this network " checkbox by the topmost VT-Wireless entry. (You do not need to check the boxes for every VT-Wirelessentry. The screenshot below was made from a working configuration that automatically checked all of them.)

Click the "Properties " button of the topmost VT-Wireless entry and enter the following information:

* Check the "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid " box.* Leave the "Use Encryption " box checked.

* Enter your PID into the "Identity " box.* Enter the path to your private key into the "Private Key " box, i.e. /home/user/netcert/netcert-1.p12.* Enter Paste the certificate password into the "Private Key Password " box.

Click "OK " and your computer should be all setup to use VT-Wireless.
