vakkotaur: (conbadge)


Please see your doctor and have your medication adjusted. I wasn't there.

I've had trouble with wireless networking since starting to use, or try to use, it. The first, I thought, turned out to be an issue with the wireless router at home. With that working, I expected there wouldn't be too much trouble getting wireless working other places such as at hotels. Wrong. I've had exactly zero success with wireless networking other than at home.

Worse, my last attempt to get wireless working elsewhere seems to have broken it for me at home. This is all command line, and while I am not opposed to that, I don't see why much of this needs to be. At the very least, I suspect there is a nice graphical tool whose name I do not yet know what will at least allow the saving of profiles for different locations, if not help with getting them going. That way at least I could (more) easily revert to a working setup at home.

I am assuming something so useful exists as it makes far too much sense for it not to. But my searches haven't turned up anything. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms. Or else this is one of those glaring deficiencies that needs to be remedied in the Linux world.

So, is there such a thing for linux? And not something utterly dependent upon KDE or GNOME? If it matters, the distribution is a Slackware variant and my window manager is XFCE.
