NAME

       wifi-radar.conf - utility for managing WiFi profiles

SYNOPSIS

       wifi-radar.conf [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       wifi-radar.conf  is  the  configuration  file  for wifi-radar, a PyGTK2
       utility for managing WiFi profiles.

EXAMPLES

       Here is a sample configuration file using some features.

       [DEFAULT]
       ifup_required = False
       auto_profile_order = BRTRY25TYU,WIFI_INED_RECHERCHE,WIFI_INED,any
       speak_up = False
       scan_timeout = 5
       interface = eth1
       commit_required = False

       [BRTRY25TYU]
       mode =
       key = e06de61003
       use_dhcp = yes
       security =
       channel =

       [WIFI_INED]
       use_dhcp = yes

       [WIFI_INED_RECHERCHE]
       use_wpa = yes
       mode = Auto
       use_dhcp = yes
       wpa_driver = ipw

       [any]
       key =
       use_dhcp = yes

       Recent version partially implements WPA-TKIP with wpa_supplicant. You
         need    a    running    wpa_supplicant    installation     with     a
         /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf   file.    Then   by  setting
         "use_wpa = yes"  in  your  /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf  file  and
         "wpa_driver = ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will be launched using
         the ipw driver (ipw2100 or  ipw2200)  when  you  connect  using  this
         profile.

       But currently you can’t set wpa_supplicant options like psk,
         proto,   key_mgmt   etc.  dynamically,  i.e  using  wifi-radar.  Your
         wpa_supplicant configuration file should be set and  tested  already.
         But  if  you have different networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then
         you can switch using wifi-radar.

       In the above example any option but "wpa" options can be set  manually.

FILES

BUGS

       Probably lots!

       Because of a continuous scan, wifi-radar is very power consuming.
