Roy,
You are mistaken. It took about ten seconds to find the home page, where it says:
"Some of Wicd's features include:
A full-featured interactive console interface and graphical interface
No required graphical dependencies (ie, no X, Gnome, KDE)
GTK interface has no GNOME dependencies, so it can be used in XFCE, Fluxbox, Openbox, Enlightenment, etc.
Ability to connect to wired (Ethernet only, no PPPoE/DSL support yet) and wireless networks
Profiles for each wireless network and wired network
Many encryption schemes, some of which include WEP/WPA/WPA2 (and you can add your own)
Remains compatible with wireless-tools
Tray icon showing network activity and signal strength"
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
Note the line beginning "Many encryption schemes".
I found it every bit as easy to use as Network Manager--and it has no specific GUI dependencies.
