I built a (new) package of this now for FREEEEE. Tested. Fails. :)
yum install wicd
Right now it's complaining: "Couldn't find graphical sudo program" (this when
I'm running it as root, no less). I wonder which ones it will take. gar.
Anyway, mostly there but i dont think i'll look at it more for a day or so, so
if you figure that out let me know heh. Could just be missing dependency.
freeeee-package empower <--we'll see if that one will work.

Well, i haven't tested the sudo part yet (it only comes up if wicd daemon isn't
running), but I have it going now with the latest package.
Looks quite nice. If this thing is stable we'll use this for sure.
Funny the thread is *without* a GUI, but in the end it's what we got. heh.

Jeff,
FWIW, yum install wicd worked perfectly after
yum install python-devel
I didn't get any weird dependency messages after that. In fact, I'm logged into my "dingonet" wireless network via wicd as we speak...
