Simpler way to connect to wifi network on CLI
On the Command-line User interface, I have to do ifconfigs and iwconfigs and obtain dhcp IP by typing lots and lots of series of commands.
It can be hard using wpa_supplicant. It requires lots of efforts and I have to memorize things. Sometimes, it does not even work. Is there a Text User Interface Program (curses) that is like a wizard to guide me to connect to a network even with static IP or/and WPA? I need this soon! :) |

it may be useful to you. also, IIRC many network managers operate on the command line including gnome's network manager and wicd. so you may take a look at them too. |

I used to use wicd. It didn't work. :(
Also, it should be something that is easily compilable or is in the Ubuntu Repo. |
I think it could be done using a bash script, but you would have to get some help creating it and designing it to prompt you for the relevant information.

Wicd works fine and is in the Ubuntu repos. I would try to figure out what didn't work with that instead of randomly searching for other programs.

you can probably create your own script wrapping up the commands suggested in this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8/#post4059181 if you really want a pseudo-gui, maybe you can look into dialog/ xdialog. why dont you start at the beginning and post the first command you are having problems with so that we have a specific example to help you with. |
