I assume you have no ifplugd installed - but from what I undestand wicd works
in a similar fashion (i.e. it runs dhcpcd) - so I can't really explain this.
What do you get in /var/log/messages when you run /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start.
It should start dhcpcd by default (even without a /etc/conf.d/net).

You'll probably need to install b43-fwcutter and follow the instructions here
(depending on your wireless NIC):
