Re: [PLUG] How can I make my wifi manager just remember passwords without a kwallet or keyring?

["John Karr" <brainbuz@brainbuz.org>]

 Now that I've tried WICD, (which I'd never heard of before) the question
is, why isn't it the default network manager in most distributions? 
 It was awesome in setting it up in gnome, and not having to recreate the
same network connection all over again (and have to deal with kwallet) in
KDE. My only complaint is that it didn't drop the connection when I logged
out (I did not check "connect automatically").

I don't understand why anyone using wireless would use anything but WICD for
controlling access to a wireless router.  For that matter you can also use
WICD for ethernet connections too.  In fact, it's easy to use.
 Only caveat is to disable other wireless software.  Thus switching from
Gnome to KDE, Blackbox, or you name the Desktop won't require changes in
your method of connecting.
