Network management and monitoring application ?

[Pablo El Feo]

I am using knetworkmanager to connect to several wired ethernets, and several 
wireless networks... I use WPA2 in my house, I use WEP at the office and the 
coffeeshop's open wireless network when I get out of work.
knetworkmanager handles all those connections by itself. (all of them have 
DHCP).
To connect to a new network you have to wait until it detects the networks in 
the area, the you have to select the wireless network you want to join and if 
it isn't an open network it'll ask the details... check the option "use 
security" (or something like that, I use spanish), choose if it uses WEP, 
personal WPA (?) or business WPA (?)... At home I use personal WPA, I guess 
that's what you'll get from any cheap home access-point. Then you can choose 
between WPA1 and WPA2... and the protocol, I use TKIP.

It really works flawlessly to me.
