Assuming that means why does ExeGNU "live" use wicd, reasons are wicd is
DE-independent (ExeGNU also has a minimal XFCE), requires relatively few
dependencies and actually works. Any required reconfiguration to suit an
interface other than wlan0 should be quite minor. In an installation,
you use what you choose.
RE firmware: ExeGNU is intended to support the Debian Free Software
Guidelines (DFSG) https://www.debian.org/social_contract .. If you need
non-free firmware you must add it yourself, as documented by
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi
Some other distros may have a less strict attitude towards closed-source
(or even have corporate partnerships) and include such firmware.
Sorry for any inconveniece!

I don't particularly like WICD anyway and
much prefer Network Manager. I
do not know if Network Manager KDE witll work with Trinity though.
Isn't this on R14? Why is wicd being used instead of network-manager-tde?
