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
|
|
|
|
This should default to using dhcpcd after installation unless you have a
|
|
previous installation that uses dhclient; in that case, you will have a
|
|
.new file lying around in /etc/wicd/ to remove.
|
|
|
|
You need to stop wicd before upgrading the package if you have a previous
|
|
version installed, and be sure to restart it after the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from wicd-1.4.x, the migration script might be useful.
|
|
However, it is untested and comes with no guarantees - back up first.
