1.6 codebase. This is still untested, so depending on any problems found, and assuming it eventually makes into the main branch, we might rebase it before the merge.

wicd-cli is a scriptable command-line only "client" for wicd written
|
|
by Ronuk Raval.
|
|
|
|
Some usage examples for wicd-cli.py
|
|
|
|
Scan for new wireless networks and display them:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --scan --list-networks
|
|
or (same thing, short version)
|
|
python wicd-cli.py -y -S -l
|
|
|
|
Or, you can view the networks Wicd has in its cache:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --list-networks
|
|
|
|
If you want to do anything with these networks, you''ll need to note the
|
|
network ID listed on the left side of the above command.
|
|
|
|
Get the channel number from network 0:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --network 0 --network-property channel
|
|
|
|
Or get all available information for a certain network, do:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --network 0 --network-details
|
|
|
|
Or do the same for the currently connected network, do:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --network-details
|
|
|
|
View the available encryption templates Wicd can use:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --list-encryption-types
|
|
|
|
Look under your chosen encryption scheme for a list of required properties
|
|
(marked with "Req:"). These are additional properties that must be set before
|
|
the encryption can be used.
|
|
|
|
For example, the listing for WPA encryption looks as follows:
|
|
0 wpa WPA 1/2 (Passphrase)
|
|
Req: key (Key)
|
|
The list indicates that to use WPA encryption, the following properties must be
|
|
set:
|
|
'enctype' => 'wpa' (from the name field)
|
|
'key' => YOUR_WPA_PASSKEY (from the required field)
|
|
|
|
Use the WPA encryption scheme on network 0 by issuing the following two
|
|
commands:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --network 0 \
|
|
--network-property enctype --set-to wpa
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --network 0 \
|
|
--network-property key --set-to YOUR_WPA_PASSKEY
|
|
|
|
Finally, we need to connect to the network:
|
|
python wicd-cli.py --wireless --network 0 --connect
|
