Wicd is an open source software utility to manage both wireless and
wired networks for Linux. Wicd is split into two major components: the daemon, and the user interface.
These two components communicate via D-Bus.
I maintain wicd on network:utilities devel project. Wicd is a python
software, it seems to be in conflict with networkmanager and others ( but who needs to have several network manager ?).
It's a great alternative to networkmanager, it's light with basic
functions. Wicd is already functionnal.
What do you want to mean with "What are your plans going forward
with wicd?" ? I don't understand (I'm french)
I'm German, so no worries - English isn't my first language either, ;)
My question was: NetworkManager and the scripts are integrated into openSUSE and packages assume that either of them are in use.
What are your goals regarding integration and usage of wicd in openSUSE?
Thanks, Andreas
It could be a better alternative to traditionnal but over-dependecies networkmanager and more precisely networkmanager-gnome.
For people wont have gnome as graphical environment, they don't have a choice: they use nm or suse software. Wicd is easy to use, contains just basical functions for basical uses
It has not expensive dependencies, works better than nm for wireless connections. It is light and integrate fine with any gtk environment.
So my goal is to provide an user-friendly networkmanager for users won't more than an utility to connect on internet.
So, with openSUSE already support nm and the traditional scripts, how do you want to make this integration happen in an easy way inside openSUSE? Btw. are you coming to the openSUSE Conference? Olaf and Marius will talk about the network jungle (http://bootstrapping-awesome.org/schedule/#osc-60) and I suggest you three talk a bit more...
