The Wireless application in GNU/Linux

How found wireless card worked good in distro GNU/Linux, or has found his solution through hacking used NDISWrapper, then your requirement following was to look for the application that was used mengoneksikan the computer to wireless network or WiFi.
For the installation vanilla the GNOME basis and KDE, the application of this kind has been and immediately worked. Unfortunately, this application always was not suitable for everyone. So why, this article tried to serve several applications wireless in GNU/Linux. Congratulations chose.

KnetworkManager: if the Reader used distro with desktop KDE, then this the application default that will be found by you. KnetworkManager was the choice was best for the user KDE that wanted the Internet connection immediately without often made every effort.

KnetworkManager supporting encryption WEP, WPA and WPA Enterprise. By that, there is also support for basic access dial-up. And of course, he provided the VPN capacity.

Wlassistant: was known also as “wireless assistant,” wlassistant was alternative for Knetworkmanager. The difference between KnetworkManager and wlassistant almost not was felt. Utility this supporting WEP, WPA and WPA2.

Network-Manager-gnome: as in the case of Knetworkmanager as the application default for the user KDE, network-Manager-gnome was tool the connection default for the user GNOME. network-Manager-gnome supporting WEP, WPA and WPA2.

Wicd: this application was not motionless in desktop GNOME or KDE. Uninstall network utility that is used by you now, and install Wicd. This program went smooth in Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch Linux. This application also produced support solid for WEP, WPA and WPA2 (WPA1/2). And unlike network-Manager, you must choose WPA Supplicant driver, than relied otomasi WEXT.

WiFi the Radar: as in the case of Wicd in many aspects, this application could be undertaken from GNOME and KDE. WiFi the Radar supporting WEP, WPA and WPA2; but, unlike Wicd, you must put manually the WPA name driver to the box that was available.

Now we switch to to the rare application being used but also was classified as old.

RutilT: was designed to wireless card Ralink chipset, utility was not recommended to be used.

GTKWiFi: more unstable for the connection to the WPA network protected. But, GTKWifi undertook his task in line with GNOME network-Manager that used the connection open and WEP.
