There is already at least 2 KDE applications for WiFi stuff, and both are fully fledged (i.e. not just a signal meter) : http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/wifi/ http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdenonbeta/kifi/ Note that I've used neither, so I don't know how good they are and what features are missing. If you decide to write another apps, please send me the link so I can add it on my web page. > Greetings Michael. Have fun...
