Wireless on Ubuntu 11.10 and Mint 12

Ubuntu 11.10 has managed to make the wireless internet on my laptop not work. They're great at introducing bugs that never get fixed: this is the only distro with that problem, and I try a lot of distros. The bug carried through to Mint 12 RC, which is of course built on top of Ubuntu 11.10.

I had to install wicd and completely remove network-manager. If you don't remove network-manager, you will get a "Connection Failed: Bad Password" error from wicd if you're using WPA2.
