This file is located at /etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf
SETTINGS
- link_detect_tool = <0|1|2>
-
0 = autodetect
1 = ethtool
2 = mii-tool
- flush_tool = <0|1|2>
-
0 = autodetect
1 = ip
2 = route
- backend = <ioctl|external>
-
Default is ioctl backend.
- signal_display_type = <0|1>
-
0 = Show signal strength as a percentage
1 = Show signal strength in dBm
- dhcp_client = <0|1|2|3>
-
0 = autodetect
1 = dhclient
2 = dhcpcd
3 = pump
- sudo_app = <0|1|2|3>
-
0 = autodetect
1 = pkexec
2 = kdesu
3 = ktsuss
- wired_interface = <interface_name|None>
- always_show_wired_interface = <True|False>
- wired_connect_mode = <1|2|3>
-
1 = default profile
2 = show list
3 = last used profile
- prefer_wired = <True|False>
-
True = Switch to wired interface if a link is detected, even if already connected to wireless
False = Do not switch to wired interface automatically
- wireless_interface = <name_of_wireless_interface|None>
- wpa_driver = <wext|madwifi|ndiswrapper|hostap|hermes|atmel|broadcom|ipw|ralinklegacy|none>
-
The default (and best supported) is wext. It should work properly in most cases. The none special value makes WICD pass no -D parameter to wpa_supplicant, which might be useful in some cases.

-
This settings determines whether Wicd will attempt to reconnect on connection loss.
- use_global_dns = <True|False>
-
If set to "True" and values are specified in the global DNS settings below, this will cause Wicd to use these DNS settings.
- global_dns_dom = <plaintext_domain_name>
-
This specifies the default search domain to be used by the resolver.
- global_dns_1 = <ip_address>
- global_dns_2 = <ip_address>
- global_dns_3 = <ip_address>
- debug_mode = <integer_value>
-
0 = disabled
1 = enabled
