But, since you say it's not important... I don't think you're likely to find any on the build service, and probably not even on Packman, as they are likely to view them as possible network intrusion tools. However, here's a couple of links that point to some available software: <http://www.wardriving.com/code.php> <http://www.wardrive.net/wardriving/tools> Although I haven't checked, they are probably source packages only, so you'd have to build the software yourself.

Actually, that functionality is available (and has been for a long time) with knetworkmanager - or whatever the KDE4 name is now - under the "connect to other network" menu item. I use it all the time. The only thing missing is the channel used for which I have to resort to iwlist when looking for conflicts. That's my main use for it anyway other than checking for available hotspots in a strange location. -- Will Honea

The one you're looking for is NetworkManager-kde4, NetworkManager-kde, or NetworkManager-gnome. Then there's NetworkManager-novellvpn, with the KDE4 and Gnome front ends, and also NetworkManager-openvpn, NetworkManager-pptp, and NetworkManager-vpnc with their Gnome, KDE, and KDE4 front ends. > So I looked it up and it seems to be some sort of front for > networkmanager and some sort of thingy in the system tray. I don't have > a system tray. So nothing else? No idea. There is a WiFi plasmoid for KDE4, but that only shows the signal strength of the connected access point, and it's not much use if you aren't running KDE4.
