.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
||
|
|
.B wmwifi
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
|
||
|
|
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
|
||
|
|
.\" respectively.
|
||
|
|
\fBWMWiFi\fP is a dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as
|
||
|
|
Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. It monitors all
|
||
|
|
wireless network interfaces on your machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main screen displays the link (signal) strength between the currently
|
||
|
|
selected card and your wireless access point as a percentage, and has an
|
||
|
|
LCD look-alike user interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second screen diplays extended stats, which are:
|
||
|
|
the current rate/speed in megabits, the noise (in dBm), the level (in dBm),
|
||
|
|
and the actual link amount.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both screens toggle the interface name and the current associated access
|
||
|
|
point at the top every 5 seconds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The back-light may be turned on/off by clicking the mouse
|
||
|
|
button over the application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mouse1 activates/deactivates the scrolling of the Wireless Interface Name / ESSID.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mouse2 switches the current wireless network interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mouse3 switches between standard and extended modes.
|
||
|
