wicd.tce.dep lists "wireless-2.6.26.tcem", in tc_2.x this should be "wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcem"

since it doesn't seems to be a tray in flwm, I'll modify the extension to start without the tray icon.

Code: [Select]

wicd-client -n

If it doesn't prevent wicd from starting, keeping the tray icon for other window managers might be good?

Post by: jls on May 17, 2009, 05:35:28 PM

no, with the -n the main wicd window opens.

Runs like a champ using jwm.  I like the icon in the tray giving me the IP address and signal strength. I'm curious why wicd is in /usr/lib vs /usr/local/lib

BTW/  Make sure to change dummy0 to eth0 as wired interface, or it will disrupt your connection. 

edit: This app uses about 27M of memory between the wicd daemon and python monitor unloaded, and
over 53.6M loaded with wicd-client, wicd-start; also add a few megs for the dbus daemon.

Edit 2:  with tc2, I don't even have to load ath0 modules, so a two line script using wlan0 is all that is required to connect wireless. The wired connection happens automatically.....quite a savings in memory,when you also figure in all the necessary files.

I deliberately wrote wpa_supplicant.tce in the wicd.dep file cause I've read here the forum that the tcz version of wpa doesn't work

Will see to fixing wpa-supplicant.tcz
