Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at it as soon as I find some spare time.

You may be interested in my python-networkmanager library: https://github.com/tweakt/python-networkmanager The wifi support isn't really there yet, and there's some class restructuring that needs to be done, but you might be able to use it as a starting point. ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Great! I will look into creating an ncurses wrapper UI. This message sent using my interplanetary mobile messaging device.

nmcli might be what you are looking for: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/User_Guide/sect-User_Guide-Connecting_to_the_Internet-NM_CLI.html It isn't menu driven but is pretty easy to use.

I often am doing kernel testing and work without starting X. I would love to be able to easily scan available networks and then select one and enter any required passphrase. This is obviously particularly helpful for wireless networks. Currently, I would need to hack scripts for each wifi hotspot, and I have only managed to get such a configuration working once (I don't remember how I did this, as it was years ago). Of course, it would be lovely if someone would create a ncurses enabled terminal UI similar to the linux kernel's "make menuconfig".
