I am looking for an easy way to control my wireless (and wired) network for
xfce4.

I am currently using wlassistant, but it doesn't allow automatic connection
(less important) and it has problems connecting to a wpa network, it
attempts to connect properly but unless wpa_gui is also running in parallel
it will usually fail to connect for some reason.



Do you want to control, or connect?

If you want to control you can always use mapping in
/etc/network/interfaces; But I assume you're looking for a GUI-type way.
In that case you may be interested in nm-applet (network-manager-gnome
is the package).


I want to connect, I am more comfortable with the text file doing the setup,
it's just that with several wireless spots it began being a pain, and I don't
have the time to play around with scripts

anyway, I installed network-manager-gnome and found a fix for the error
starting up nm-applet but now I can't connect to the wap2 network at home. It
seems that wpa-assistant starts up and there is an attempt to modprobe wifi0
and then the connection fails. It seems from wpa-gui that the connection is
made but then dropped for some reason
