Just so I don't get this wrong, you want an option in the menu that just spits out the raw stuff stored in the profile file, so output would be something like this:

Code: [Select]
SSID: somessid
Key: xxxxxxxxxx
IP: dhcp
IP could of course actually be an IP address.[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=161896\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
That is precisely what I had in mind. thks
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=161899\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
It'll probably get done either today or tomorrow.

Sorry this is taking so long. I found some bugs that could lead to having incorrect information inputted/outputted that are taking a while to sort out.

I think I'm going for a rewrite here. This is just WAY full of bugs, and I should be able to make it more efficient. Don't worry, I'll keep the old code around, just in case.

Hey, take your time. And I'm sorry for opening such a big can-o-worms     I'm sure I can speak for all of us that we really appreciate your hard work on this.
GROG!

I really enjoy coding, so it's not really work for me.

But really, I should thank you. I had no idea that there were so many issues with the code, and you made me notice them. Plus the way I'm doing it now requires me to learn how to use pointers, which is something I've been meaning to learn to do for a long time*.

I also wasn't really apologizing for it taking a long time, it was more for me saying that it would be done in a couple days than not having it done.

*A note to all of you who are knowledgeable about C++: I WILL have questions concerning these

Just a quick update on the rewrite. I have gotten around the major issue I've been facing, so progress should be made fairly quickly.

OK, everything is implemented and streamlined. It should solve all of the potential issues of the previous app while still being compatible with the profiles. I'm thinking about adding a command line option to list the a profile's contents, but source and a package should be up tomorrow, regardless of whether I add that in.

Can somebody who knows C++ look at the code? When you try to list the contents of a profile, you get extra junk at the end (the full path to the profile). I'm kind of stuck, as I have the character arrays and strings wiped multiple times.

Thanks, and let me know if you have questions on what does what.

THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS A RELEASE!

It's been a long time in coming, but the rewrite is done (and hopefully bug-free). I'm packaging it up now, so the stuff should be up in a minute or so.

Feedback/feature requests are still welcome and encouraged.

I just discovered that static IPs weren't actually static. Could sombody post the steps (in ifconfig and iwconfig if applicable) to setting up a static IP address so I can fix it?

I'm also thinking of adding in WPA support. Could somebody post the steps to setting up WPA as well?

Thanks.

OK, I'm working on adding a GUI (finally!), and here is the current design. Feedback/comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

It's being written in FLTK, so it should be fairly quick and light.

looks nice... I appreciate the use of fltk. Maybe we will see a full featured ede on the Z someday....

Is that a build request?

I mostly am using FLTK because it is natively in C++, so it is easier to use. It has the side effect of being lightweight.

Here's a test binary for pdaXrom latest (sorry classic folks, a source package will be up soon). Take a look at the help option. Some stuff has changed. Requires FLTK 1.1.7 (from the new packages thread).

Remove the .txt extention; it's a binary.

Also, I'm looking for a logo to use. If somebody would care to design one (64x64 or 128x128 is preferable) and post it here, I'd be happy to use it.

Also new in the soon-to-be source package is a roadmap of where I'm hoping this will go. I'll probably stick it and the chagelog int the soon-to-be ipk later as well.

Enjoy!

Wlanconfig2-2 0.1 is out, now with a (n ugly) GUI! See the first post for files and more details.

There is also roadmap file in the source, and both a roadmap and a changelog in the ipk in /usr/share/doc/wlanconfig2-2/.

Feedback is still welcome (even on the ugly GUI) and encouraged.
