I tried to get the latest versions from dockapps.org, but I haven't tested any of them. More dockapps will be added as time permits.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a wmdockapp which shows the state of a wireless network interface. In the
|
|
title you see the network interface name and a led showing if the interface
|
|
link is active. As next you see the signal strength from the conntected access
|
|
point in dB (decibel). The bar shows the signal strength in percents. If the
|
|
bar is full, it means that you have the full throughput of the bandwidth
|
|
displayed in Mbps. As next you see the channel number. A red lock shines if
|
|
WEP is enabled. The last line shows the network id.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no interface is set at startup,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
scans all initialized interfaces until the first wireless interface is found
|
|
and uses that.

.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
As I can't test
|
|
.Nm
|
|
with every wireless chipset for which a driver exists, because I don't have
|
|
them all, it is most possible that with some chipsets the behavement of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is wrong, or some informations are missing. If you have such a chipset
|
|
causing troubles, please report me, including a dmesg and a problem
|
|
explanation.
