I have neither ifconfig nor iwconfig installed in my system. What package should I install to add them?
You need the iw package and net-tools i think.

You can find your network card with lspci -vv | grep -i Network as root. For some devices, you may need proprietary/nonfree software.
When I start wicd it doesn't see wifi around the pc. Can you help me to figure it out how to solve this problem?
