I installed wifi-radar. The network manager no longer puts its icon on the xfce icon bar, and wifi-radar shows up on the applications menu under internet. It finds the neighbouring wifi access points, and I can select them for automatic connection, and it appear to do so, at least for the one I have at home, which does not have aa password. What I haven't been able to figure out is hos to specify a wifi password for the access points that *do* require a password. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
