Managing wireless connections seamlessly with wicd

Relevance: 8.71
The nature of my work forces me to be something of a digital nomad -- my notebook computer and a wireless connection are essential parts of my working day. I've been known to move between several wireless access points in one day. While I've had never had any problems with the wireless cards in my Linux-powered notebooks, most of the wireless connection tools I've used have fallen a bit flat. One of the few wireless connection managers that I've actually found useful is wicd -- the Wireless Interface Connection Daemon, pronounced"wicked." It's a lot like the Windows wireless network connection tool in both appearance and ease of use.

Giving up on Linux wireless with the Airlink 101 AWLL3028

02/07/2008  
Relevance: 7.23
Even though I found very specific instructions for making the Airlink 101 AWLL3028 USB wireless adapter work with Linux using ndiswrapper, I've pretty much given up. In all cases, I can get the wireless adapter to light up, and I can find a wireless network. I just can't get a DHCP connection started. I don't have enough skill or patience to keep going with it. It's disappointing, but that's the breaks.

Network-Manager-GNOME vs. Wicd Reviewed

Relevance: 7.09
Having spent the last few days really examining what Gutsy has to offer on the wireless front, I have been content with improvements made to the network-manager for GNOME. Having thoroughly tested my RT2500 and RT61 Ralink wireless cards, I was impressed with the new wireless stack and network-manager's ability to handle the wireless cards with zero hassle.

Simple Approach to Linux Wireless

07/18/2008  
Relevance: 6.76
Wireless connectivity on any Linux distribution that is not pre-bundled with existing hardware is a bit of a crapshoot. And yet I would be the first to point out that despite much of the nonsense about it being necessary to either compile a driver from source or worse, falling back into a Windows mindset so as to rely on Windows wireless drivers via NDISWrapper is never the only option.

Two tools for enabling wireless cards

08/18/2007  
Relevance: 6.24
No other hardware nowadays supports GNU/Linux as weakly as wireless network adapters. Between the constant release of new models and major vendors who are uninterested in supporting the operating system, free drivers for wireless cards are next to impossible to reverse engineer. Nor can you find many retailers willing to customize laptops as readily as they do workstations. In this situation, ndiswrapper and the Broadcom firmware cutter provide a functional, if not always satisfactory, solution.
