[Gllug] wireless setup

[Diana Scott]

I have undo what i typed in the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

I have used wpa_gui but it doesn't work. what are the front end GUI to wpa_supplicant available ?

I have been reading up reference books on the subject. Do you know where I can read more about wpa_supplicant ?
