I had a look at ports/net-mgmt/wifimgr
I am quite new in FreeBsd but in my case it does not work , ie :

I start a xfce4 session for a (non-root) user
open the wifimgr from  the 'network' menu
provide root password as requested

but then it hangs forever on my laptop

Did anyone successfully used wifimgr ? If yes, what could I check to
make it work ?

PS : I am using FreeBsd 8.0 on an (old) Thinkpad laptop with ipw-2100
wireless card



Regards

Eric
