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.
