[Saad <548992@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using 10.10 Netbook Remix and lost my wireless.

Here is what I did to fix it:

- Removed Network-manager (I may not have had to do this...keep reading) as recommended from above posts
- Installed wicd. This still did not work
- Then finally looked at /var/log/wicd/wicd.log and saw that wicd recommends using dhcpcd instead of dhcpclient.
- So I installed dhcpcd, rebooted
- Went into wicd network manager > preferences > external programs, and select dhcpd as dhcp client.

Successfully connected to wireless after this final step.

The reason why I hinted that it may not be a network manager issue is
because of this final step, maybe dhcpcd also works with network
manager? I haven't had a chance to investigate that further.
