Yeah, that's true. I still bite the bullet and edit |
| 16 |
wpa_supplicant.conf by hand. Add it once, and from then on, it works |
| 17 |
pretty automatically. However, when you connect to a *lot* of |
| 18 |
networks, I can imagine that this quickly gets ugly. Maybe write a |
| 19 |
script which uses something like sqlite to store your configuration? |

Alternatively, use the emacs outline mode to fold the lines^^ |
