Jason, I belive removing "network manager" should not affect anything especially wicd because these are replacements to each other. But sometimes, it may affect. If you face any such problem, then try reinstalling wicd.
Also please check this bug #357395 before uninstalling network manager. -- [Lucid] Network Manager Applet Wi-Fi icon always shows red exclamation mark https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
