[CALUG] F12 wifi software ?

[Bryan J Smith]

You don't use system-config-network for Wireless.  In fact, you typically don't 
use it for mobile computers at all, or most desktops that rely on DHCP for that 
matter.  It's typically only used for servers and fixed IPs.

You utilize "Network Manager" which has an icon at the lower-right of your 
desktop, possibly upper-right, depending on your desktop manager configuration.  
"Network Manager" was developed by Red Hat, Novell has contributed significantly 
as well, and it is used by virtually every distribution.

P.S.  In fact I have not met someone yet, myself included, who hasn't been to at 
least one seminar or conference where at least one presenter started praising 
Ubuntu for Network Manager, and was quickly asked the presenter to right-click 
"About" followed by someone saying maybe they should also thank Red Hat too.  ;)

hi, I guess I also need to know what software
to use on F12 to "find" open networks, 
select, and connect.
