NAME

       WiFi Radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles

SYNOPSIS

       wifi-radar [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       WiFi Radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.

       It will look for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf.  You can change that in wifi-radar.

       If the configuration file does not exist, it will create it, so you must always run it within a correctly
       permitted account (as root or use sudo or pam).

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

       But currently you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk, proto, key_mgmt  etc.  using  wifi-
       radar.   Your  wpa_supplicant  configuration file should be set and tested already. If you have different
       networks set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-radar.

       The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:

OPTIONS

       -v, --version for printing the version.

FILES

       /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf
               See for more information.

BUGS

       Probably lots!

       Because of repeated scanning, WiFi Radar is very power consuming.
