Installing the WICD software to scan for wireless ip address

WICD is fd and wireless network manager for Linux.
Some features include:
- Ability to connect to wired and wireless networks
- Profiles for each wireless network and wired network
- Many encryption schemes, some of which include WEP/WPA/WPA2
- Compatible with wireless-tools
 
I'm installing this software in my linux machine. So after installing, i need to start up the Wicd in my machine by opening up a terminal:
# su root
# key in my root password

Start up Wicd by executing this command:
# wicd

However the method above requires me to start up the wicd everytime when i restart my machine. Therefore i chose to edit the rc.d file to start up wicd automatically.

Check your /etc/rc.d directory and make sure rc.wicd is executable
Using vi editor, add in these lines into the file

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start
fi

Restart my machine to check if it load wicd automatically
