WiFi Radar is a Python utility for managing WiFi profiles. It enables
|
||
|
|
you to scan for available networks and create profiles for your preferred
|
||
|
|
networks. At boot time, running WiFi Radar will automatically scan for an
|
||
|
|
available preferred network and connect to it. You can drag and drop your
|
||
|
|
preferred networks to arrange the profile priority.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This requires pygtk, which in turn requires pygobject and pycairo, all of
|
||
|
|
which are also available at SlackBuilds.org
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This script installs a wifi-radar.sh script in /usr/bin that by default
|
||
|
|
runs /usr/sbin/wifi-radar with sudo. You can change this to use ksudo
|
||
|
|
instead by running the script thusly:
|
||
|
|
./wifi-radar.SlackBuild KSUDO=yes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use wifi-radar with a normal user (with sudo) add to your /etc/sudoers:
|
||
|
|
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/wifi-radar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then launch wifi-radar.sh, which will handle setting up a proper environment
|
||
|
|
and running /usr/sbin/wifi-radar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to scan and connect to one of your preferred networks at
|
||
|
|
boot, the recommended way is to add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
|
||
|
|
and make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar is executable.
|
||
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar ]; then
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar start
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
And of course, to rc.local_shutdown:
|
||
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar ]; then
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar stop
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that according to the manpage, wifi-radar is fairly power hungry
|
||
|
|
due to its constant scan nature. You may not wish to have it running in the
|
||
|
|
background all the time sucking battery juice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf is only readable by root (or perhaps
|
||
|
|
the group that owns it in some cases). We install the file with mode 0600 by
|
||
|
|
default, but this was not the case in some earlier revisions, so you should
|
||
|
|
double-check it to be sure.
