If wicd will replace network-manager, I assume it will do so on all architectures. Then it can't hurt to also test a cable connection on i386, as Aurélien did.
The most useful comparaison i can make on it between network manager is :: no way are already existing/writing to install a vpn connexion. On network-manager, you have a pre-installed solution to follow to install it.This made no sense to me :/
I assume this means that network-manager lets you set up a VPN connection, but that wicd doesn't have that feature.
I can add that I've been running wicd for some days now on my Yeeloong in a place with generally bad wifi connectivity and I think it's doing pretty good. I don't have any concrete measurements (apart from: I don't really notice it's there and I don't swear at it), but my feeling is that it performs as good (possibly better) as the network-manager I had installed from config.fsf.org.
