Hi,
I'm a newbie. I recently leave my cacko for a fresh OZ/Opie.
I'm confused by the network management. On cacko, I was able to set multiple configuration for my WIFI connection (eg one for home, one for office, one for friend network...). When activatng the network, I have to select one environment and... it works.
On OZ/Opie, I did not found anithing like this. What I found is an application that seems to be a "simple" backend for the /etc/network/interfaces. Each time I change environment, I have to manually re-insert configuration.
What is the killer-app on opie to manage multiple network environment?
-
Hello, since nobody answered... The kind of thing you are doing sounds like what the WPA_Supplicant is for. That way things would happen automatically.

Good question, this is not something I need so I don't know. Do we have something like this, and if not would someone like to write one?

i have written some network-profile shellscirpts incl. an gpe-applet to change them,
i can post them if someone needs them.
here are some screenshots:

the main-app is a shellscript so it should also work with opie....

Yes, could you add the scripts & applet as an enhancement type bug in the OE bugtracker please.
If someone wants to write a similar applet for Opie, then this will ought to pretty much solve the issue.

P.S. hrw tells me that you can also use wpa-gui (wpagui?) under GPE. It requires QT4 though so is not a particularly lightweight solution.

qt3-x11, not qt4
-
ops. my mistake then as I told lardman that this use qt4..
-
Either way it's extra libs. I like the idea of some generic (between GUIs) scripts and some thin/light GUI applets to control them.
