It turns out network-manager and wicd can co-exist (I'm keeping network-manager for its wireless internet support) - add a line like this to /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet manual
where "eth1" is your wireless interface, and network-manager will ignore it.
You're right, wicd seems to work for me as well.
