4 wifi-radar \- utility for managing WiFi profiles
10 Wifi-radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.
13 .BR wifi-radar.conf (5)
14 for information on configuring the rest of its functionality.
16 The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:
20 \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR for printing the version.
23 \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-daemon\fR set wifi-radar in daemon mode.
25 It will always look for the config file in /etc/conf.d/wifi-radar.conf.
26 You can change that in wifi-radar
28 * If the conf file does not exist, it will create it, so you must
29 * always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use
32 * Running it with the "--daemon" or "-d" option will set it to "scan
33 * and auto connect" mode, which has no UI (good for running at boot
34 * time or in the background).
37 Recent version partially implements WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You
38 need a running wpa_supplicant installation with a
39 /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file. Then by setting in your
40 /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and
41 "wpa_driver = ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched when
42 you connect using this profile.
44 But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk,
45 proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar. Your wpa_supplicant
46 configuration file should be set and tested already. If you have
47 different networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using
51 .B /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf
53 .BR wifi-radar.conf (5)
59 Because of a continuous scan, wifi-radar is very power consuming.
