As the states, wicd is enabled and starts on boot in Fedora 14. After upgrading to Fedora 15, wicd is no longer enabled by default, and does not start on boot. \n\nWhile the workaround is straight forward, I am proposing this as a NTH fix for F15 since this will likely impact F14->F15 users, and it's not obvious that the service isn't running.

not on the DVD, so nothing to be gained by making this NTH. -1 -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
(In reply to comment #2) > not on the DVD, so nothing to be gained by making this NTH. -1 Thanks good catch, since this doesn't impact the installation media, marking this as RejectedNTH.
