To use it, add yourself to the wheel group (or any relevant group of your choice) and prepend the following lines in your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel update_config=1 After logging in and out you should be able to easily add and connect to any network via wpa_gui. What you do not get to change via that interface is how the IP address is resolved, but that should not be an issue if you are OK with using DHCP.

Another (simpler) network manager to have a look at is connmanager. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
