Re: Debian-Sid E17 image for the DT

hi guys,
i installed the latest image on my dt366 and wifi seems to be a big issue,
i reed all the posts and i see people saying that the problem with the wifi is the fact that the WICD recognizes the wifi0 instead of the eth0 is why the wifi doesnt work, i tried to change the settings on the wicd from wifi0 to eth0 and no go, when i open the wicd it is extremly slow and when i click properties it opens the properties window but sometimes it shows the data and sometimes don�t, the times it shows the data I see it says wifi0 on the wireless adapter field but I can�t change it, i dont know if it is suppose to be changed here or if the program is so Hunged that it doesnt let me change it, I also tried restartig the /etc/init.d/wicd but the logs on /var/logs/wicd/wicd.log keeps showing that it selects the wifi0 instead of the eth0, i tried putting the wifi0 down with ifconfig wifi0 down and restarting the wicd service no go, how do i change this from wifi0 to eth0??? is there any hidden config file i can edit?
i also removed the wifi card and installed a wired card to see if i could connect to the internet however it recognizes the card it gets no IP,
who manages the dhcp client on this OS the wicd or the OS??
i�ll appreciate if somebody can give me some ideas on how to change that.
kind regards
