I have been using Wicd on my Ubuntu for quite a while and never really bothered as to why it would not automatically connect to a specified network. Wicd provides an option to specify whether to automatically connect to a network. I finally figured out. You need to add Wicd to your system startup services for it to automatically connect. Here are the steps to do that:
To get the tray icon to automatically appear at boot, go to System > Preferences > Sessions. In the "Startup Programs" tab, click the "New" button. Give it a name ("Wicd" works fine). For the command, enter "/opt/wicd/tray.py"
