I just ran the update at the update manager's prompt. Apparently, it was installing a new kernel version.
Anyway, after I rebooted, I had no networking. I noticed wicd was running, and it would start either. Checking out the wicd log, I saw this:
Code:
wicd is version 1.6.1 426

Looking at the referenced conf file, there was indeed a part of empty brackets at the bottom. I deleted them and tried again, and wicd started up and seems to be working now.
It seems fine now, but anybody know what the heck caused that?
