3: Let WICD handle your wireless woes
I can’t tell you how many times I have found myself banging my head against a server rack. For the longest
time Linux and wireless networking were simply not good bedfellows. But that is quickly becoming a thing
of the past. With modern distributions, wireless card detection has become a no-brainer. The issue now is
encryption.
Many of the Linux wireless tools have trouble when any encryption is involved. But the WICD tool takes care of
this. Now, connecting to WPA or WPA2 encrypted wireless networks is simple. Add to that the amazingly easy
GUI employed by WICD and you can check one nasty headache off your list.
