wicd is a network manager replacement. It works (more or less) the same way NM works: with a deaomon which does the lower level operations, and several GUIs (a GTK version, and a ncurses version). I don't want to change the subject, as I"m afraid to steer the debate from the original problem (as you mentioned). I am just pointing that for the NM problem, there is another solution which tries to solve more or less the same problem. It's just "different". You know, GTK vs. Qt argument. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
