Or (still QT4-based, but doesn't depend on KDE libs) net/wpa_gui - not that I've actually tried it. I briefly had a look at what would be required to implement a basic PyGTK-based wpa_supplicant GUI. One annoying thing is that (arguably) the easiest way for an external app to communicate with wpa_supplicant is via dbus, but wpa_supplicant in FreeBSD is built without dbus support; another option would be to use something like http://projects.otaku42.de/browser/python-wpactrl. -James Butler _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
