Hi there, |

The DHL man has just been & taken my MacBook away to have its ego |
4 |
stroked by professionally-trained Apple engineers. I thought in the |
5 |
meantime I might try living the Linux lifestyle for a few days & have |
6 |
(literally) dusted off my (not literarily) black & white Thinkpad. |

I've only used WEP so far, not wpa-supplicant, but I supposed I'd |
9 |
better get the latter set up. So in light of that inexperience, please |
10 |
forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are there any GUI wifi apps |
11 |
that sit in the system tray, scan and let you connect to available |
12 |
networks, and are also compatible with Gentoo's configuration files? |
13 |
|
14 |
Last time I used wifi under Gentoo one added the network name & |
15 |
encryption key to /etc/conf.d/net (or /etc/conf.d/wireless) and the |
16 |
network scripts did the rest. Ideally, then, I'd like a GUI that |
17 |
scanned for networks & added the details to the conf.d file. Is this a |
18 |
reasonable expectation? |

BTW: I prefer KDE, if this is relevant. |
