I assume you have no ifplugd installed - but from what I undestand wicd works |
| 25 |
in a similar fashion (i.e. it runs dhcpcd) - so I can't really explain this. |

What do you get in /var/log/messages when you run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start. |
| 28 |
It should start dhcpcd by default (even without a /etc/conf.d/net). |

You'll probably need to install b43-fwcutter and follow the instructions here |
