    NAME

    wifi-radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    wifi-radar [OPTION]...  

    DESCRIPTION

    Wifi-radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.

    If invoked with no options, it will start a GUI which displays a dialog containing a list of networks. For each network, a number of properties is displayed.

    SSID
    The SSID (network name), along with an icon which distinguishes preferred (known) networks from unknown ones.
    Preferred networks will be listed even if they are not within range.
    Signal
    Displays the current signal strength as an icon; the icon is light gray if the signal is very weak or absent, with a progressively larger dark portion for stronger signals (red for weak, olive for medium, dark blue for good, clear blue for very good).
    Mode
    Displays a string identifying the mode of the access point; this is usually Master for a regular access point.
    Please refer to general WiFi documentation for a more detailed discussion of WiFi modes.
    802.11
    Displays the protocol supported by the access point; possible values are a, b, or g.
    Please refer to general WiFi documentation for details about the different protocols.

    To the right, the following buttons are displayed.

    New
    Create a new profile. A second dialog box opens up where you should fill in information about the profile's network.
    Edit
    Edit the currently highlighted profile.
    Delete
    Delete the currently highlighted profile from the configuration.
    Disconnect
    Disconnect from the currently active profile's network. The network you are currently connected to is displayed beneath the list of available networks.
    Close
    Exit wifi-radar. The configuration file will be updated if you made any changes to the preferred networks.

    When wifi-radar is run in daemon mode, no GUI is displayed. See the description of the --daemon option below for more information.

    See wifi-radar.conf(5) for more information about configuring wifi-radar.  

    WPA Support

    wifi-radar partially implements WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You need a running wpa_supplicant installation with a wpa_supplicant.conf file. Then by setting in your wifi-radar.conf file the use_wpa = yes option and wpa_driver = ipw for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched when you connect using this profile.

    However, currently you cannot set your wpa_supplicant options like psk, proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar. Your wpa_supplicant configuration file should be set and tested already. If you have different networks set up in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch between them using wifi-radar.  

    OPTIONS

    wifi-radar accepts the following command-line options:

    -v, --version
    Print the version of wifi-radar.
    -d, --daemon
    Run wifi-radar in daemon mode.
    Running wifi-radar with the --daemon or -d option will set it to "scan and auto connect" mode, which has no UI (good for running at boot time or in the background). It will connect to the first preferred network which is within range, or give up if it cannot connect within the configured scan timeout time (default: 5 seconds, plus the time needed to set up interfaces etc.).
     

    FILES

    /etc/wifi-radar.conf
    Configuration file for wifi-radar. See wifi-radar.conf(5) for more information.
     

    BUGS

    Probably lots!

    Because of a continuous scan, wifi-radar is very power consuming.
