Then I got stuck on step 4. Loaded wicd, but it doesn't seem to work unless NetworkManager is running too (the wicd gui doesn't see any networks). Since the instructions state that purging systemd with take NetworkManager with it, I can't move forward without a network ...
Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
I'm not sure. WICD and NetworkManager are independent of each other, so I don't know why you'd need nm to run wicd. When I did it, I used WPA_supplicant, wicd was suggested by the Devuan team for migrating. I installed wicd after changing the repos, so maybe try using the Devuan build? Or connman? I'll look into it when I get home
