Wicd keeps track of whether to autoconnect to networks based on bssid.
|
|
This ensures that you don't accidentally connect to another network that is
|
|
not yours but happens to have the same essid - for example, there are a lot
|
|
of commercial routers in use with "linksys" as the essid.
|
|
.br
|
|
0 = Do not use settings globally
|
|
.br
|
|
1 = Use settings globally
|

.TP
|
|
.BI "has_profile = " <True|False>
|
|
This parameter is used internally by Wicd and has no effect as far as the

|
user is concerned.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "beforescript = " <None|arbitrary_script>
|
|
This defines a script to run before Wicd brings up the connection.

in a directory that is writable by only root.

.SH OTHER
|
|
The "use_settings_globally" option determines how an individual network's
|
|
configuration stanza starts. If the option is "0" (do not use settings
|
|
globally), then the stanza's top line will be the bssid of the access
|
|
point (in this format):
|
|
.br
|
|
[00:15:3E:87:D3:68]
|
|
.br
|
|
If the "option is set to "1" (use settings globally), then the first line
|
|
of the stanza will be in this format:
|
|
.br
|
|
[essid:UA Public Wireless Network]
