The best approach to change network configuration from applications.

Hello Michael

I am developing an application for Debian at XFCE, and some persons asked
me to add, in Wifi section, to manage wireless connection.

I have Network Manager installed, but I saw it doesn't reconize wifi
chip. So, to implement it I have two soluction:

a) a gui wrapper for iwlist
b) a gui wrapper for wpa supplicant

reading you message you told that in a future is possible that fso
framework will manage network interface too. Is correct to think that I
can use the fso dbus interface to manage wireless?
Is something linked to fso-wireless-glue?

Thank you for your attention
