WMWIFI(1)WMWIFI(1)NAMEwmwifi - A dockapp to monitor wireless signal strength.
SYNOPSISwmwifi [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wmwifi command. This manual
page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
WMWiFi is a dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as Win‐
dow Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. It monitors all
wireless network interfaces on your machine.
The main screen displays the link (signal) strength between the cur‐
rently selected card and your wireless access point as a percentage,
and has an LCD look-alike user interface.
The second screen diplays extended stats, which are: the current
rate/speed in megabits, the noise (in dBm), the level (in dBm), and the
actual link amount.
Both screens toggle the interface name and the current associated
access point at the top every 5 seconds.
The back-light may be turned on/off by clicking the mouse button over
the application.
Mouse1 activates/deactivates the scrolling of the Wireless Interface
Name / ESSID.
Mouse2 switches the current wireless network interface.
Mouse3 switches between standard and extended modes.
