Does raspbian use network

Submitted by Mike (not verified) on

Does raspbian use network manager? I don't use raspbian, but I know that under Debian, the default network manager is (the aptly named) network-manager. If so, nmcli can be used to control all network interfaces, including wifi ones. I believe it even automatically incorporates wpa_supplicant

A nice feature in Raspian wheezy is the included wifi kernel extensions. Also Occidentalis from Adafruit includes Realtek RTL8188CUS, on top of others from wheezy. Kernel repo: https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-raspberrypi-linux

If it's based on Raspbian, it uses wpa_supplicant to manage wifi connections. It comes with a command line tool, wpa_cli, and a gui, wpa_gui. It works very well and you can easily use wpa_cli in a bash script if you want more control.

Would there be a way to just

Would there be a way to just integrate the wpa supplicant GUI to the system in the way that you have added the emulators? Aside from adding some startx action to get to a desktop I can't think of much choice. I am also not a computer programmer or software engineer... I am rather familiar with different pi distros though, and I have yet to use a text based wpa. Keep in mind I am good at many things, including being wrong.

I've tried wick-curses as you

I've tried wick-curses as you told me. When I run it (also in sudo) It shows no networks at all. if I do a iwlist scanning shows a lot of networks. Michael - Does you script has an user interface to the users could select the wifi, detects encryption mode and configures network and protection wep or wpa ?

Try a package called wicd

Try a package called wicd-curses It's not what you'd call lightweight. If you want something very lightweight, I wrote a script a while back that you might be able to adapt. Let me know. mike@recantha.co.uk
