A good network manager

It would be nice to have a good network manager like wicd. That would make it easy to swap between wired and wireless networks easily. For laptops anyway :-)

One of the Elive developers has an excellent application called wifi-wiz. Google it and try it out (it's not in the repositories). It's very nice and does what you want.

Thanks for the tip!

I found wifi-wiz:

Thanks!

Moderator: It is ok to move this thread to the Hardware, Wifi section.

And please, include wifi-wiz in the next Elive release :-)

the built in network manager works fine for me; however - I have used wicd and find it works even better... - easier to setup mainly

I also think that changing wireless networks should not need roots password. I did note that wicd didn't work for me in elive 1.0

Will have to try wifi-wiz myself
