    Exclamation WICD saved networks file

    Can someone tell me what is the location of the file in which WICD stores information about wifi networks (i,e, names and passwords)?

    I need to change permissions on the file because it won't save new networks.

    This file is empty even though I have several networks saved.

    The only file with content there says this:
    If you're reading this file, that means that you found a directory that
    is empty by default when Wicd is installed. Congratulations!

    At this point, the directory probably isn't empty, so perhaps the name
    of this file is a little confusing.

    Some package managers and some version control systems don't allow for
    installation or storage of empty directories, so this file exists to
    make them work properly. Just ignore it and continue on with your life.
