I want to make a small desktop application (probably GTK+, since I've never done anything in GTK) that shows available wireless networks, signal, and a few buttons to connect to each/configure each.
I don't intend to make a huge daemon like the linux's NetworkManager, but, instead, just a simple application you open, connect, and close. Done. No bloat, and definitely ***NO*** requirement for stuff like HAL. I wanted to get a few pointers before I started: 1) First of all, I want to be sure no one's already working on something like this. 2) I initially considered just parsing the output of "ifconfig ****". This does seem rather hackish, but would get the job done fast and can still be very maintainable code. However, what's the proper alternative (just a few pointer to know what to start reading will do) to do this sort of this. Thanks :-) -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
