This file contains general configuration information for Wicd.

link_detect_tool = <0|1|2>
0 = autodetect
1 = ethtool
2 = mii-tool
flush_tool = <0|1|2>
0 = autodetect
1 = ip
2 = route
backend = <ioctl|external>
Default is ioctl backend.
signal_display_type = <0|1>
0 = Show signal strength as a percentage
1 = Show signal strength in dBm
dhcp_client = <0|1|2|3>
0 = autodetect
1 = dhclient
2 = dhcpcd
3 = pump
sudo_app = <0|1|2|3>
0 = autodetect
1 = gksu
2 = kdesu
3 = ktsuss
wired_interface = <interface_name>
always_show_wired_interface = <True|False>
wired_connect_mode = <0|1>
0 = connect to wired interface automatically
1 = do not connect to wired interface automatically
prefer_wired = <True|False>
True = Switch to wired interface if a link is detected, even if already connected to wireless

wpa_driver = <wext|madwifi|ndiswrapper|hostap|hermes|atmel|broadcom|ipw|ralinklegacy|none>
The default (and best supported) is wext. It should work properly in most cases. The none special value makes WICD pass no -D parameter to wpa_supplicant, which might be useful in some cases.
auto_reconnect = <True|False>
This settings determines whether Wicd will attempt to reconnect on connection loss.
use_global_dns = <True|False>
If set to "True" and values are specified in the global DNS settings below, this will cause Wicd to use these DNS settings.
global_dns_dom = <plaintext_domain_name>
This specifies the default search domain to be used by the resolver.
global_dns_1 = <ip_address>
global_dns_2 = <ip_address>
global_dns_3 = <ip_address>
debug_mode = <integer_value>
0 = disabled
1 = enabled
