Hi,
How do I manage my networks when I am using windowmaker as my desktop
manager? I can connect to my wifi network using NM on Gnome, but in
wmaker, I don't have any Internet connection. I tried running
NetworkManager from terminal, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
I use 'docker'[1]. This tool has been the sole reason i switched back to using
WindowMaker after having to compromise on using Gnome with all it's bells and
whistles, for a long time.
After starting docker (and docking the app), you can start off any of the gnome-panel
applets and they will appear in docker.
I prefer starting off:
pidgin -n
gnome-power-manager
network-manager
If you are a regular user of WindowMaker, you might already know about the file
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart, where you can start up network-manager on login.
(note, i am not on my laptop right now, so can't confirm the exact commandline, if you
have trouble, please let me know and I'll send you my configs when I can)
HTH
