Thanks, I was still searching for alternatives to wicd.
I get it that wpa_supplicant also knows how to do WEP?
I still want wireless to be switched off completely when I attach the
ethernet cable. Is there any program I could combine with wpa_actiond
to acchieve this?

What does this do that wpa_cli -a c
Okay so I don't know why but apparently it isn't freezing on me anymore.
I remember the freezing starting when I tried connecting to my network
at home -- I'm no longer at home. Either way Wicd isn't going to work

wpa_supplicant supports wep, here's an example wep stanza:
network={
ssid="kfx"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=01
Hi
I don't know anything about the gui stuff, but it seems you simply
haven't configured wpasupplicant. To configure it---if you installed it
from the ubuntu repositories, which should be (almost) the same as the
Debian packages---look at the
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian. The configu
I ended up finding the tutorial on the Arch wiki. I was hoping that
because I had the gui that I wouldn't need to configure anything
manually, but on the wiki they provided a minimal configuration just to
get the gui to work. It worked and I could browse and interact with
networks. Unfortunatel

Apparently wpa_cli -a doesn't pass the ssid as a parameter when executing
the script. I would consider this important when dealing with multiple
profiles.

wpa_supplicant puts all its info (i.e., CTRL_EVENT_DISCONNECTED) out
on stderr. Could just pipe that to a shell script.

Yes, using the 'wired' driver. However, afaik wpa_supplicant only
handles one device per instance, so any controlling script would need
to manage both instances, and at that point there's no point using
I forgot about dmesg!
And I would rather not use polling. But I guess I should. wicd and
dbus is not the way to go.
I also don't remember why I started using wicd instead of scripting,
there definitely was an other reason, too. Butl, nevermind.

I just tried running wpa_supplicant in the foreground and it doesn't
output anything when I connect my ethernet cable.

Cool. ifplugd seems to be exactly what I need.

Ok, my mind came back. It was automatically switching between wireless
networks which let me think I needed wicd.
The only thing missing now is a nice interface for
