icd is closed but wlancond is open. You can find wlancond sources from
osso-wlan package:

This might help you:

The network settings are stored to GConf. I don't remember the exact
location, but it should be quite easy to find them.

Create a new network connection (aka. IAP) to GConf and connect to
that IAP using libconic.
