NAME
       WiFi Radar - utility for managing WiFi profiles

SYNOPSIS
       wifi-radar [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       WiFi Radar is a PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.

       It  will  look  for the config file in /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf.
       You can change that in wifi-radar.

       If the configuration file does not exist, it will  create  it,  so  you
       must always run it within a correctly permitted account (as root or use
       sudo or pam).

       Recent versions partially implement WPA-TKIP with  wpa_supplicant.  You
       need  a  running  wpa_supplicant  installation  with a /etc/wpa_suppli‐
       cant/wpa_supplicant.conf file.  Then  by  setting  in  your  /etc/wifi-
       radar/wifi-radar.conf file the "use_wpa = yes" option and "wpa_driver =
       ipw" for example, wpa_supplicant will  be  launched  when  you  connect
       using this profile.

       But  currently  you can't set your wpa_supplicant options like the psk,
       proto, key_mgmt etc. using wifi-radar.  Your wpa_supplicant  configura‐
       tion  file should be set and tested already. If you have different net‐
       works set in wpa_supplicant.conf, then you can switch using wifi-radar.

       The wifi-radar script accepts the following command-line options:

OPTIONS
       -v, --version for printing the version.

FILES
       /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf
               See for more information.

BUGS
       Probably lots!

       Because of repeated scanning, WiFi Radar is very power consuming.
