Network wizard Beta version for testers
Posted: Mon 05 Feb 2007, 17:07
NOTE: the latest version of the wizard is the stable version
This version should be Stable and hopefully bug free but you first try the latest stable version.
If this test version has a feature you need you are highly encouraged to test it as adding features and fixing bugs is only possible if there is people testing.
You don't need to be an expert or "official tester" to test Actually the newer you are to puppy or even to linux in general is better in certain cases.
If a feature you need is not on the stable version on in this one, feel free to add it to the Network wizard wish list
I'm posting these packages here because I think that the "Additional software" forum should be just for true and tried software.
Excuse the UI but that was the best I could do with the gtkdialog limitations. I will use a decent UI toolkit for the next release of the wizard. (You'll be blown away )
Anyway, the UI shuld be quite usable

So, less talk and more action:
I present you...
The puppyfied version of the supplicant!
It has the minimum required for the wizard to manage the supplicant appropriatelly (wpa_supplicant, wpa_cli, wpa_passphrase).
It installs to /usr/bin.
The network wizard!
It now requires the wpa_supplicant to process WPA.
Enjoy
