Hello,
On a new Lenovo ThinkPad T440S I installed Trinity from
exegnulinux_4.2.iso dated 24-Jul-2013. This is in addition to a
preinstalled Windows 7 Professional. Running wicd does not detect any
wireless networks, however, wicd in Trinity in my older laptop does
detect them. And Windows in the ThinkPad also detects the networks,
so wireless must be enabled. AND wicd doesn't even see a wired
network when connected with a LAN cable.
Do I need to configure wicd?
Or install from a newer image such as exegnu_wheezy_r14_26032014.iso?
Or install (L|X)Ubuntu and set up Trinity on top of that?

a quick (and insufficient) reply:
you have to find out the kind of wifi card you've got installed, lspci
is your friend here.
make sure to install the appropriate firmware, do a
apt-cache search firmware |grep wi
to see what you have available. you may have to go out and download
something.
I had to go to broadcom to get my thinkpad x131e.
I also find the ceni networking tool is very helpful.
others can chime in but this may get you started. I'm in a hurry and
hoped this would help since I figure you're in a hurry to get your
wifi.
I wonder if you have a broadcom? you can look it up online too of
course.

Empty what's full.
