The procedure described above in #9 worked flawlessly for me.
The upgrade - followed by re-install x3 - broke my wireless completely, wicd as well as network-manager. Everything appeared OK undtil I tried to connect via WPA personal. Then it kept going like this: "Bad password" (it wasn't). My network was visible enough, but no go. I tried several laptops (Medion Akoyas) with RT2860STA cards - without ever getting them to connect. (Bad password). I even tried to install Kubuntu, Kubuntu Netbook Remix, vanilla Gnome and Gnome Netbook Remix - all failed to connect.
After the downgrade to karmic all is well with wicd. Tanks, Toby.
