Re: Wicd?
second that.
Wicd is more friendly for begginers than pns-tool, and almost doesn't require to know english language.
unfortuately it requires python (few extra MB).
"pns-tool is kind of lame"
damn! i always thought that GUI apps are kind of lame

Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Re: Wicd?
hi KSA_ARAB i think that gtk in porteus32 it is installed,in the package there are all need to connect with wicd,but i remember you that:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.wicd
/etc/rc.d/rc.wicd start
write these command in console, then reboot, We have already had this discussion some time ago.

Re: Wicd?
I've always liked pns-tool better for using my network at home, because it's easier to tell what is going on and it automatically creates a module so I only have to configure it once, and I can boot into fresh mode with my wifi working instantly. I find that definitely un-lame.
I use wicd if I'm scanning for unsecured/public wifi because it's easier and faster to refresh the scan.
That's my two cents.

Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

Re: Wicd?
I will add wicd. I think internet connection is one of the most important aspects of Porteus so the easier the better. I was going to rewrite pns-tool with a graphical front end but i think wicd is a better choice ... as long as pa_supplicant is already in place.
How do i become super user?

Re: Wicd?
@brokenman
'wicd' need 'python' and this well take more space of size.
it will be better if compile 'wicd to work only as 'gtk interface' or look for another tool for 'wireless gtk interface'.
thanks

Re: Wicd?
Yes the python is a large package.
I could not get the slackbuild to work. Instead i activated all the dependencies listed above and then grabbed the source and compiled:
python setup.py configure
chmod +x setup.py
setup.py build
setup.py install
After this i could start the client and got the tray icon to appear with: wicd-client
So do we go with python (13+Mb) or find some other client?
