==Connecting with Wicd==
''The following instructions were written for Wicd 1.6.2.2 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. If other versions or distributions have significantly different steps, please add those instructions or make a note of the need for them on [[VTLUUG Linux and Unix Users Group at Virginia Tech Wiki:Wanted]].''
Wicd is an alternative to NetworkManager. It has proven to be more reliable than NetworkManager for a number of users. Unlike NetworkManager, to use Wicd, you do not need to convert the PKCS#12 certificate that CNS provides to a set of PEM certificates. If you need VPN or mobile broadband functionality, don't use Wicd, though. It doesn't have those features. Follow the instructions for converting the certificate and using NetworkManager instead.
