NAME

6       WiFi Radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wifi-radar [OPTION]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       WiFi Radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.
13
14       It  will  look  for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf.
15       You can change that in wifi-radar.
16
17       If the configuration file does not exist, it will  create  it,  so  you
18       must always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use
19       sudo or pam).
20
21       Recent versions partially implement WPA-TKIP with  wpa_supplicant.  You
22       need  a  running  wpa_supplicant  installation  with a /etc/wpa_suppli‐
23       cant/wpa_supplicant.conf file.  Then  by  setting  in  your  /etc/wifi-
24       radar/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and "wpa_driver =
25       ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will  be  launched  when  you  connect
26       using this profile.
27
28       But  currently  you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk,
29       proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar.  Your wpa_supplicant  configura‐
30       tion  file should be set and tested already. If you have different net‐
31       works set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-radar.
32
33       The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:

BUGS

43       Probably lots!
44
45       Because of repeated scanning, WiFi Radar is very power consuming.
