           Summary: Kwifi should interface with the netapplet daemon, or the
                    Red Hat Network Manager daemon, or have one of it's own
           Product: kwifimanager
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: swinter kde org
        ReportedBy: evilhamsterman gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

There are already two really good daemons that would allow the Kwifimanager to change the network settings on the fly without root privilages.  The netapplet daemon from Novell/Suse and the network manager daemon from Red Hat.  Both allow you to not only select from the best wifi network but also select the wired network if it is available.  This would greatly improve the usability of the Kwifimanager, since they can already provide alot of the desired ability to the manager.
