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

(5) for information on configuring the rest of its functionality.

The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:

-v, --version for printing the version.

-d, --daemon set wifi-radar in daemon mode.

It will always look for the config file in /etc/conf.d/wifi-radar.conf.

You can change that in wifi-radar

* If the conf file does not exist, it will create it, so you must

* always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use * sudo or pam)

* Running it 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). .TP2 Recent version partially implements WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You need a running wpa_supplicant installation with a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file. Then by setting in your /etc/wifi-radar/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.

But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the 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 in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-radar.

/etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf

See (5) for more information.

Probably lots!

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