Hi there,

The DHL man has just been & taken my MacBook away to have its ego stroked by professionally-trained Apple engineers. I thought in the meantime I might try living the Linux lifestyle for a few days & have (literally) dusted off my (not literarily) black & white Thinkpad.

I've only used WEP so far, not wpa-supplicant, but I supposed I'd better get the latter set up. So in light of that inexperience, please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are there any GUI wifi apps that sit in the system tray, scan and let you connect to available networks, and are also compatible with Gentoo's configuration files?

Last time I used wifi under Gentoo one added the network name & encryption key to /etc/conf.d/net (or /etc/conf.d/wireless) and the network scripts did the rest. Ideally, then, I'd like a GUI that scanned for networks & added the details to the conf.d file. Is this a reasonable expectation?

BTW: I prefer KDE, if this is relevant.

Stroller.
