Managing wireless connections seamlessly with wicd

  2007-07-31 21:00:09
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.
