The second deadline for the Wifi Bounty is next week, as such, Colin has released the the Wifi Config Tool for testing! It can be downloaded here at OSDrawer.

So what are its features?

• Scan for available WLANs
• Join a WLAN (no hidden WLANs though)
• Show the WLAN you are connected to

The corresponding commands are printed out by issuing the command "wlanconfig help" in the terminal.

After downloading and unpacking the wlanconfig zip, you install it by executing the install.sh script.

To use wlanconfig to its full potential you have to download and install the latest atheros driver, too.

When reporting bugs: http://dev.osdrawer.net/projects/haiku-wifi/issues/new (you have to be logged in) please append the output of getsysteminfos.sh installed with the latest atheros driver.

Off Haiku's webpage, Haiku Alpha R1 CDs are now available to purchase. Costing $20USD, $15 of the cost will go towards Haiku! Get your copy from CafePress:
