How do I set gtkwife as default wifi manager?

[coderasm]

How do I disable the built-in network manager applet in ubuntu, so only gtkwifi is controlling my wireless device? Is there a way I can get gtkwifi and wpa_supplicant working together, then I'd be able to connect to any type of encrypted network.

You don't need to disable the built in Network Manager.
In fact you don't even need to have anything even entered into the boxes in Network Manager. GTKwifi uses the same config files as Network Manager, it just does a lot of the leg work automatically...

I may be way off base with this, but on my system this is how I have perceived it.

What is the specific problem you're having?

[coderasm]

You're absolutely correct, my system is running just as you described. Thankyou. Is there any way to have wpa_supplicant or any other wpa software/module to run along side gtkwifi, or am I at a loss? Will gtkwifi have wpa support in the future?

[Mr. Electric Wizard]

I'm sure it will at some point.
I am waiting on this also...:)
