*** version 0.5.0:
|
|
|
*** This release is a major rewrite. Loads of under-the-hood changes. Huge part of the code has been rewritten, reimplemented, organised, cleaned up, optimised and made easier to extend in the future.
|
|
|
* NEW: Network profiles (finally!). Comments please!
|
|
|
* NEW: Automatic path detection. No manual config.
|
|
|
* NEW: Support for networks with hidden ESSIDs.
|
|
|
* NEW: Context menu for each found network.
|
|
|
* NEW: Sysfs based device detection (kernel 2.6.x required!).
|
|
|
* NEW: Device selection combo is hidden if only one interface is found.
|
|
|
* NEW: wlassistant runs using sudo to avoid permissions mess in different distros.
|
|
|
* FIX: Much shorter startup time.
|
|
|
* FIX: Proper connection checking.
|
|
|
* REM: Real interface name lookup removed.
|
|
|
* REM: Only managed networks supported (Ad-Hoc & other didn't work most of the time anyway. Will rewrite it sometime later, depending on how badly the users want it. Comment pls.).
|
|
|
* REM: Removed "Scan upon startup" option - it is the default behaviour now.
|
|
|
* REM: Removed "Skip encrypted networks" scanning option.
|
|
|
* REM: Removed "Connection timeout" option for dhcpcd. Hardcoded to 25s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* NOTE: As for now, per network profiles can not be edited. You have to delete one and re-enter all the settings. It might be an inconvenience if you are using networks that change their parameters often, but I wanted to release and get early feedback on the whole profiles implementation.
|
|
|
* NOTE: You might encounter some annoying "This function is not yet implemented" messages. Reason? See above.
|
|
|
* NOTE: I am well aware that the configuration dialog needs redesigning. I'm actually considering removing it completely and implementing more per network options. Comments pls!
|
|
|
* NOTE: See TODO before giving ideas or feature requests to get an overview of what is already planned for the next releases.

****** DESCRIPTION ******
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wireless Assistant (wlassistant) is a small application that allows you to connect to wireless networks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MAIN FEATURES:
|
|
|
- Managed Networks Support
|
|
|
- WEP Encryption Support
|
|
|
- Not Broadcasted ("hidden") ESSIDs Support
|
|
|
- Per Network (AP) Configuration Profiles
|
|
|
- Automatic (DHCP, both dhcpcd and dhclient) and manual configuration options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The program uses wireless-tools, route, ifconfig, dhcpcd/dhclient as its backends so they need to be installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** IMPORTANT: As of this release wlassistant is run using 'sudo'. As a result no 'permission denied' errors are handled. Make sure your sudo is configured properly so you can run wlassistant.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE: If you want to create a e.x. 'wifi' group wich users should be allowed to use wlassistant, add the following line to your /etc/sudoers:
|
|
|
%wifi ALL=NOPASSWD: <your_kde_dir>/bin/wlassistant |
