About WiFiconfig

Why did I write yet another wifi connection management tool, when both Gnome and KDE come with perfectly adequate tools for this purpose? Well, because:

The proverbial personal itch: to conserve the scarce resources of my puny laptop, I only put on it stuff I need. Installing Gnome or KDE for the wifi configuration applet would be like swatting a fly with like, a sledgehammer or somehting. So I remembered what everyone says when someone is whining about this or that piece of open source software not being adequate in some way, and I wrote my own damn wifi configuration tool. So there.
Tempting as it was to go on a month-long GTA San Andreas binge at the end of the fall semester, I thought I'd spend my winter break doing something useful for a change.
I wanted to get acquainted to the Wireless Extensions API in preparation for an upcoming academic project.

In short, I wrote WiFiconfig because I felt like it. And in the spirit of Free Software, I'm making it available to everyone else out there who's running a lightweight WM on their laptop and got tired of typing iwlist eth0 scan.
