Re: travelling with antiX With my EEEPCs when I stayed at a motel. I had to go into wicd properties and use the motels passkey to connect in wicd.
With Open Networks. Just hitting the refresh button with wicd and finding the open network all I had to do was hit the connect button. I do this all the time when I go visit my Doctor. The pharmacy their runs open wifi. _________________ Antix 11 on Asus EEEPC 900, 2 gig ram, 4gig/-16gig/home SSD. Asus EEEPC 701SD, 1 gig ram, 8gig SSD AntiX 8.5 . Dumpster Emachine AntiX 11 rc4.

Re: travelling with antiX Install ceni. It's in the Community Repository. It's my preferred network manager for open networks.

Re: travelling with antiX yup ceni or command line finds the networks
ceni should be in the control centre, no need to install once you connect, wicd detects it and you can use its interface to setup that network profile |

Re: travelling with antiX I'm unconscious at times. I completely didn't notice that he was asking something about antiX.
