Thanks, Sven, installing *firmware-b43-installer* does the trick,
because the wireless light on the laptop lights and 'wlist wlan0 scan'
produces results. But why would wicd-gtk still show 'no wireless
networks found'?
Don't know, it worked for me when I last tried. Are you a member of the
netdev group? Note that wicd has severe problems with hidden SSID¹.

But wicd works on this laptop in the lenny partition, just not in the
sid partition. What I don't get is that 'iwlist wlan0 scan' lists the
wireless stations found and wicd which uses iwlist can't find them.
I am a member of netdev.
I found it: in wicd-gtk the preferences for wireless have to be set to
'wlan0' interface. Then he (she?) finds everything. Thanks again.
