Linux wifi perl script
Sadly with most of the lite window managers for linux, you dont have the cool applet for wifi connections. For commandline whores its not that big of a deal, but for new linux users .......
After a recent techie meeting some of you saw me using my console perl script 'wifi'....and some of you wanted it.
Here it is, typo's included. Please adjust the config lines, then save as 'wifi.pl',
chmod 750 wifi.pl; mv wifi.pl ~/bin
then whenever you want to connect to an access point, type: wifi.pl
If you don't want to be prompted for your sudo password, add the following line to your /etc/sudoers file:
yourname ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/dhclient
Replace "yourname" with the login name you use.
Click to get script: wifi.pl.txt
