Right, libnm-client it will be then. It's not really a library directly for interfacing with NM (though it could grow to be). It's really just a library that applets would find useful right now. > This is all stuff to make WPA easier/cleaner to implement? Essentially, yes. I'm creating a more generic framework to take care of all the cipher options that wireless affords us. We've got 128-bit passphrase/hex, 64-bit passphrase/hex, WPA-PSK passphrase/hex, etc. That's 6 already. We get to add 2 more if we care about ASCII keys too (though I don't think people really use those). These are going to be the responsibility of the applet, not NM. NM will simply accept the binary key data and send it to the driver (or write it to wpa_supplicant.conf).
