Glad to hear wicd has some maintainers, last time I checked it seemed
like that was up in the air.
I was looking for someone to forward patches and didn't find anyone so I
just forked.

The patch that changes the ifconfig format comes from here. I can't
remember which patch
in particular changes the format. My patch to wicd will work with
vanilla or debian patched format.
On my systems I use the debian patches.
