Well, even the Ubuntu Linux Bible suggests using wicd instead of network
manager (*). After my personal experience, and reading other people's, I
am beginning to see why.

Using chattr to make files immutable seems more likely to make it harder
to follow advice on forums. E.g.
  Expert: run this command, and it should reset /etc/hosts, then
everything else should just work.
  User: nope, no change
  Expert: <scratches head>
  User: oh, I forgot, I used chattr on that file 6 months ago, would
that matter?

fine for wired connections.
