And indeed, I just "keep the commandline incantations in my head" for ifupdown, wireless-tools, wpa_supplicant and friends with reasonably flexible configurations. Roaming between known networks works automatically, but sure when I want to connect to a new wireless network I resort to scanning from the CLI to identify the ESSID and then stuffing that into my config and restarting a few things. I certainly wouldn't suggest it as a default for the Desktop task, requires root privs among other issues, but there are definitely still working solutions out there for those of us who would rather wrestle with a manpage than some GUI (even a curses-based one). -- { IRL(Jeremy_Stanley); WWW(http://fungi.yuggoth.org/); PGP(43495829); WHOIS(STANL3-ARIN); SMTP(fu...@yuggoth.org); FINGER(fu...@yuggoth.org); MUD(kin...@katarsis.mudpy.org:6669); IRC(fu...@irc.yuggoth.org#ccl); } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
