Overview

This is a command line wireless network manager written in Perl. I have nothing but problems with the built in network manager under Ubuntu becoming unstable after a suspend. So I made this command line version that provides a nice interface for joining networks.

(Name and ESSID removed) I found that this program will work when everything else fails.

Features

• Join by ESSID or MAC address
• Simple design using existing iwconfig tools. No extra Perl modules needed.
• Support for WEP encryption
• Easy to use, just press the number of the network you want to join. It will try DHCP by default.

To Do

• Support static IP
• Support WPA and WPA2
• Docs (read the source for setup info)

Download

• perlwm: perlwm
