I've been spending some time to get wireless up and running, and I can say with the utilities like wpa-supplicant, iw, and ip, it's a very tedious process every time you wanted to get your wireless network up and running. I think we should get a wireless network manager, and I do not recommend NetworkManager since it has a dependency on systemd and we don't have that. I would recommend wicd, except that its development it practically dried up, but it's still usable, I don't know of any other network managers, but maybe we should look into it. --20cf3029212ecd74d1050d99675e Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
