Openbox network manager suggestions

[bolla3]

Hi!

(yes I know I am a noob, but please bear with me.)

A couple of days ago I installed ubuntu again. Have been jumping between distros lately but mostly used arch. Anyways! Today I after installing openbox and tint2 I realixzed I have never gotten wireless connections to work with openbox. Mainly because I never needed it, but now I am lost. I tried wicd but that did not work. So,
any suggestions for a network manager? Preferrably one which I can use graphically.
And Is there any way to get a network icon on the tint2 panel?

I'm using nm-applet.

Crunchbang (http://crunchbanglinux.org) is an ingenious implementation of Openbox on a Debian base. I'm not sure how they've done it, but it's reeeeally fast and gorgeous. Nice community too. Since you're "hopping" anyway.

I think Openbox on an Ubuntu base would be easier to install and work on alot broader range of hardware, though. Crunchbang was flawless when it was Ubuntu-based. A little troublesome on my hardware now on a Debian base.

a real light 1 is "network-config" its in the repos.

Want to tell us more about your problems with wicd? Maybe we can help.

Personally I like a good CLI network manager. I use either wicd-curses or ceni.
