17 0 = autodetect
18 1 = ethtool
19 2 = mii-tool

21 flush_tool = <0|1|2>
22 0 = autodetect
23 1 = ip
24 2 = route
25
26 backend = <ioctl|external>
27 Default is ioctl backend.
28
29 signal_display_type = <0|1>
30 0 = Show signal strength as a percentage
31 1 = Show signal strength in dBm

45 wired_interface = <interface_name>
46
47 always_show_wired_interface = <True|False>
48
49 wired_connect_mode = <0|1>
50 0 = connect to wired interface automatically

60 wpa_driver = <wext|madwifi|ndiswrapper|hostap|hermes|atmel|broad‐
61 com|ipw|ralinklegacy|none>
62 The default (and best supported) is wext. It should work prop‐
63 erly in most cases. The none special value makes WICD pass no
64 -D parameter to wpa_supplicant, which might be useful in some
65 cases.

68 This settings determines whether Wicd will attempt to reconnect
69 on connection loss.
70
71 use_global_dns = <True|False>
72 If set to "True" and values are specified in the global DNS set‐
73 tings below, this will cause Wicd to use these DNS settings.
74
75 global_dns_dom = <plaintext_domain_name>
76 This specifies the default search domain to be used by the
77 resolver.
78
79 global_dns_1 = <ip_address>
