Not really. Your ifconfig output shows that your machine knows it has 2
interfaces, and it appears that both are connecting and getting IP
addresses from the router (unless you have set them both static: you did
not say. But wired works, so now there is just the wireless setup!

You are not *doing* anything wrong, but something *IS* wrong.
Check that you have a /usr/lib/python2.6 folder. It should exist, as
should the config subfolder. Does on my F12 install.
If it does not, then
'yum install python python-devel'
And re-try the wicd install.
The other route is to go back to NetworkManager. It is already installed
and should work (in its inimitable obscure fashion).
Since you do not have wicd in the way, then:
chkconfig wpa_supplicant on
chkconfig NetworkManager on
Disconnect the wired connection and re-boot. Then 'system-config-network'
and check that the wireless card is properly defined. NM should find the
wlan0 interface, and connect.
As noted before, this works best if encryption is turned off at this stage.
(I cannot remember if network services are supposed to on, or off. But
NetworkManager deals with that)
You are almost there!
