NAME

wifi-radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles

SYNOPSIS

wifi-radar [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

Wifi-radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.

wifi-radar.conf(5) for information on configuring the rest of its functionality.

The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:

OPTIONS

-v, --version for printing the version.
-d, --daemon set wifi-radar in daemon mode.
It will always look for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar.conf.
You can change that in wifi-radar
* If the conf 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)
* Running it with the "--daemon" or "-d" option will set it to "scan
* and auto connect" mode, which has no UI (good for running at boot * time or in the background).
Recent version partially implements 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.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.

FILES

/etc/wifi-radar.conf
See wifi-radar.conf(5) for more information.

BUGS

Probably lots!

Because of a continuous scan, wifi-radar is very power consuming.
