A while ago, a conversation between Thomas and Rémy showed that netcfg is in need of a new maintainer. Since netcfg is such a nice achievement in network management, it would be a shame to let it die a dusty dead... Regardless I would still like to see wifi-menu included in netcfg 2.7. All that is needed is to add the wifi-menu script to the scripts folder of netcfg and add scripts/wifi-menu \ after line 31 of the makefile. Any opinions? Since I am actually using wifi-menu and have been using its predecessor, wifi-select, for quite some time, I am interested in caring for the script in the future.

Hi all,

I wrote a wireless connection script for netcfg: https://github.com/joukewitteveen/wifi-menu/ It does a thing similar to wifi-select (available in Community), but more in the style of netcfg-menu (part of netcfg). It integrates tightly and I plan to keep the source up to date with netcfg changes.

The script requires netcfg 2.7 (currently not yet released, but remy's tree has the required patch applied).

I would like to see the script (wifi-menu) added to the scripts directory of netcfg, alongside netcfg-menu. The requirements are: - dialog (just like netcfg-menu) - wpa_supplicant (mandatory for wireless anyway)

If this seems a good idea, I would like to ask Remy to add the script to the netcfg repository (and make a release :-) ).

P.S. netcfg is an orphaned package?!
