As you have discovered, wicd has not been updated to python3 and is therefore
not available in chimaera or ceres. It has already been removed from chimaera. I
will remove it from ceres to fix this bug.

You will need to use a different application: network-manager or conman are
options.

HTH.

Alright, thanks for the tips. I will try the replacements then (in
older versions of Ceres, I couldn't get network-manager to work)

Cheers,
Nico
