xnm 0.1

lightweight GUi for NetworkManager written in Tkinter, with simple xmobar integration

xnm

xnm is a lightweight networkmanager menu for window managers missing one, such as xmonad.

Install

Either retrieve from pypi using pip:

$ pip install xsms

or clone this repo, and install using setup.py:

$ git clone https://github.com/smcl/xsms
$ cd xsms
$ python setup.py install

Using

Once xnm is installed you can either launch it standalone in an xterm…

$ python -m xnm

… or you can add it as an action in your xmobar setup, so that when you click an icon (I use DynNetwork) like so:

template = "... <action=`/home/sean/.xmonad/xnm.py`>%dynnetwork% <fn=1></fn></action> ..."

TODO

NetworkManager can do a lot of things but I do not plan to do all of them, but my goals are (checkbox indicates whether completed or not):

• wifi

• [x] search

• [x] connect (open and authenticated using wpa-psk)

• [x] disconnect

• mobile broadband

• [ ] configure new

• [x] connect

• [x] disconnect

• bluetooth

• [ ] search

• [ ] pair

Right now it can search for and connect to open and protected wifi networks, so there’s quite a way to go :)
