An update: it appears here indeed, but the code is really looking
for /sys/class/net/<iface>/wireless . And I *don't* have that.
So my wlan0 should've been recognized as a wired connection: it isn't because I
set it as Wireless interface in the Preferences dialog.

Would you please check whether setting the Wireless interface to "wlan0"
workarounds the bug?

Anyway, this will probably be fixed in 2.0, when wicd upstream is planning to
use udev and other amenities to detect hardware :)

Sorry for the inconvenience,
David
