KWiFiManager

KWiFiManager is a handy tool for setting up and keeping an eye on your wireless LAN PC-Cards if you're using Linux with KDE. Just a heads up, it's designed specifically for KDE version 3.x.

Getting Started with KWiFiManager

The easiest way to get this package going is:

Step 1: Configure the Package

First, you'll want to cd into the folder that has the source code for the package. Then, type ./configure. This command helps set everything up for your system. If you're using csh on an older version of System V, you might need to run sh ./configure instead. This avoids any issues where csh tries to run configure.

The Configuration Process

This part might take some time. While it's running, you'll see messages pop up letting you know what features are being checked.

Step 2: Compile the Package

Once that's done, just type make. This command compiles everything.

Step 3: Run Self-Tests (Optional)

If you want to make sure everything's working well, you can type make check. This runs any built-in tests that come with the package.

Step 4: Install Everything

No need to rush! When you're ready, just type make install. This will install all the programs along with any data files and documentation you might need.

Cleansing Up After Installation

If you ever want to clean things up a bit, simply type make clean. This removes program binaries and object files from your source code directory. If you're looking to wipe out everything created by configure, so you can compile it again for a different computer setup, use make distclean.

A Note for Developers!

If you're feeling adventurous and want to dive deeper into development stuff, there's a command called make maintainer-clean, but be careful! It's mainly for developers and could require extra programs if you decide to use it.
