Jens, Bradley, et al.:

   The problem has been fixed. My business partner (a software engineer) came
over and eventually discovered that wlan0 needed to be described in
rc.inet1.conf and wicd used as the connection tool.

   With the laptops on which I've used wicd only the static IP information
for eth0 has needed to be entered. For whatever reason, the Sony wants wlan0
to also be included in the configuation file.

   Also, while I downloaded, built, and installed all the prerequisites for
nm-applet that are noted on the SlackBuild.org site I still missed
something.

Thanks to all of you!
