Wireless network control (applet) for xfce4
I am looking for an easy way to control my wireless (and wired) network for
xfce4.
I am currently using wlassistant, but it doesn't allow automatic connection
(less important) and it has problems connecting to a wpa network, it attempts
to connect properly but unless wpa_gui is also running in parallel it will
usually fail to connect for some reason.

Micha, I am running Dreamlinux (Debian Etch 4 w/xfce)
on my
Dell Inspiron laptop. Internet
management has been a breeze with this system.
I am using a Ralink wireless card monitored with the
Wavelan
applet plugin.
Net packages that I find installed (by default) are
the following:
netapplet
netbase
netcat
net-tools
networkconf
wavmon
wireless-tools
wpasupplicant
xfce4-wavelan-plugin
xfce4-goodies
There may be other packages of significance due to
dependencies, etc.
Automatic connection is being established consistently
with
this setup.
HTHs a little. Best regards.

I want to connect, I am more comfortable with the text file doing the setup,
it's just that with several wireless spots it began being a pain, and I don't
have the time to play around with scripts
anyway, I installed network-manager-gnome and found a fix for the error
starting up nm-applet but now I can't connect to the wap2 network at home. It
seems that wpa-assistant starts up and there is an attempt to modprobe wifi0
and then the connection fails. It seems from wpa-gui that the connection is
made but then dropped for some reason
