reliable wifi gui for SHR

[Iain B. Findleton]

My biggest problem with SHR is the settings dialog appears to be largely
non-functional for most things I try to do. Info on how to control the
state of the WiFi radio without using the settings application would be
a big help to me.

I am not much of a python person, but just being able to find the
scripts for the settings modules would probably help. Any info?

You can find my bitbake recipe for wpa-gui here [1] and a package here [2]. There are also my changed files in wpa-roaming.tar and and a README in [2]. I have been using this setup for months now with connections to WPA(2) PSK, WEP and unencrypted networks with dhcp and static IP.
