Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for er

Question

Having issues getting wireless to work on Acer V3 551.  Wired works great.  I'm new to Arch from Ubuntu, so please be nice to me
On startup, I get two error dialog boxes:
#1: Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages.
#2: The wicd daemon has shut down. The UI will not function properly until it is restarted.
Network info:
23:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
24:02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
wicd-curses terminal output:
wicd-curses
Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically...

I've tried:
- beginners install suggestions
- arch wicd suggestions
- unin/re-installing wicd
- google research to no avail

Apologies. First post to the board - will keep post within bracket tags. Sorry for being such a noob.
Input
$ systemctl status wicd.service
Output
wicd.service - Wicd a wireless and wired network manager for Linux
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wicd.service; disabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2013-05-01...
Process: 972 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/wicd --no-daemon (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Starting Wicd a wireless and wired network manager for Linux
It seems like the daemon is already running
If it is not, please remove /var/run/wicd/wicd.pid and try again.
wicd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Failed to start Wicd a wireless and wired network manager for linux.
MESSAGE=Unit wicd.service entered a failed state.
Any thoughts?
