NAME

6       wifi-radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles

SYNOPSIS

9       wifi-radar [OPTION]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Wifi-radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.
13
14       wifi-radar.conf(5) for information on configuring the rest of its func‐
15       tionality.
16
17       The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:
18

OPTIONS

20       -v, --version for printing the version.
21
22
23       -d, --daemon set wifi-radar in daemon mode.
24
25       It will always look for the config file in /etc/conf.d/wifi-radar.conf.
26        You can change that in wifi-radar
27
28       * If the conf file does not exist, it will create it, so you must
29            * always run it within a correctly permitted account (as  root  or
30            use * sudo or pam)
31
32       * Running it with the "--daemon" or "-d" option will set it to "scan
33            *  and  auto  connect"  mode, which has no UI (good for running at
34            boot * time or in the background).
35
36       Recent version partially implements WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You
37         need a running wpa_supplicant installation  with  a  /etc/wpa_suppli‐
38         cant/wpa_supplicant.conf  file.   Then  by setting in your /etc/wifi-
39         radar/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and "wpa_driver
40         =  ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched when you connect
41         using this profile.
42
43       But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk,
44         proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar. Your wpa_supplicant configura‐
45         tion  file  should  be  set and tested already. If you have different
46         networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using  wifi-
47         radar.

FILES

BUGS

54       Probably lots!
55
56       Because of a continuous scan, wifi-radar is very power consuming.
