NAME¶
WiFi Radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles
SYNOPSIS¶
wifi-radar [
OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION¶
WiFi Radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.
It will look for the config file in
/etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf. You
can change that in wifi-radar.
If the configuration 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).
Recent versions partially implement 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.
The
wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:
OPTIONS¶
- -v, --version for printing the version.
FILES¶
- /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf
- See for more information.
BUGS¶
Probably lots!
Because of repeated scanning, WiFi Radar is very power consuming.
