wicd is a wired and wireless network manager for Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some features include:
|
||
|
|
- Ability to connect to wired and wireless networks
|
||
|
|
- Profiles for each wireless network and wired network
|
||
|
|
- Many encryption schemes, some of which include WEP/WPA/WPA2
|
||
|
|
- Compatible with wireless-tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need to start the wicd service at boot by adding the
|
||
|
|
following to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
||
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd ]; then
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll also need to prevent the standard Slackware networking scripts from
|
||
|
|
starting the network. The easiest way to do this is to remove any interface
|
||
|
|
definitions from /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, there are two optional patches (not applied by default)
|
||
|
|
included in the script tarball and commented out in the build script.
|
||
|
|
With those patches applied, wicd should work "out of the box" with
|
||
|
|
unmodified Slackware networking scripts, but the only promise I can make is
|
||
|
|
"WFM - YMMV" (Works For Me - Your Mileage May Vary). :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This requires dbus-python and pygtk; also, you will need to restart or
|
||
|
|
reload the messagebus service after installing wicd.
