	      1 = use this profile as default.

       beforescript = <None|arbitrary_script>

	      This defines a script to run after Wicd disconnects the interface.  The script should be a Bourne-compatible script  and	should	be

	      True = use static DNS servers instead of accepting what the dhcp server supplies.

       use_global_dns = <True|False>
	      True  =  use the global DNS servers provided in wicd-manager-settings.conf(5).  This option is only appropriate if "use_static_dns =

	      Static DNS address if "use_static_dns = True" and "use_global_dns = False"
