wlan-config

author: Joshua Rubin

Status

---

The script seems to work great for me.

Requirements

---

properly configured wireless adaptor
perl (make sure it is up to date)
kdialog for the graphical script.
perl module Config::General
ifconfig (may need sudo)
iwconfig (may need sudo)
iwlist (may need sudo)
dhcpcd (may need sudo)

Installation

run the install script
./install
note: this is a VERY basic install script. it should be run as root.

      make sure to edit the files in /etc/wlan-config (especially wlan-config.conf)
      and remove the .new extensions for those you wish to use.

if you need to install the Config::General module, here are the steps to perform AS ROOT:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install Config::General
> exit

Running

Configuring (wlan-config.conf)

GUI

see wlan-konfig(8)

Uninstallation

---

run the uninstall script
./uninstall
note: this removes the main scripts, man pages and the files in /etc/wlan-config wih .new extension

the /etc/wlan-config directory and other files remain in tact.
