WLAN manager like XPs?
I'm after a graphical app with which I can browse WLAN's picked up by my wireless card. Something with the same functionality as WinXP's would be good. Where I can see all available networks and their respective signal strengths, then choose one to connect to.
I'm running Xubuntu 6.06 on my IBM Thinkpad 600e. Wireless is done through a Linksys WPC54G v5 PCMCIA card. Currently I'm using Network-Admin (part of XFCE, it seems) which seems to only like WPA-encrypted connections. I need to connect to networks that have no encryption, but use MAC address filtering, which this doesn't seem to like. Any suggestions? All I can find on google are reviews of network cards, laptops and Linux distros... |
Wifi Radar is a pretty good gtk based app:

Thank you! I've been trying that out now for a few weeks, and it's pretty much exactly what I'm after, but I still cannot connect to any unsecured networks - it'll only let me connect to WPA ones.
I thought it might be down to the NIC, but I've tried a Belkin USB WLAN device, but that has exactly the same problems. If I secure the unsecured network with WPA, i can connect fine. Any ideas why this might be happening? |
