Controlling 802.11 NICs
Anybody have a good and easy to use GUI tool to controll wireless NICs? I need something that works with all versions of encryption; WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
I'm orginally a Suse user and we mainly use knetworkmanager which configures all the NICs as need be. It also detects and integrates well with both commercial and enterprise versions of 802.11 encryptions.

NetworkManager is included by default in Trisquel.
I see it. But, it doesn't seem to control my wireless NIC. I know my NIC is supported; at least I was told it does. I have an RTL8187SE for the NIC.
Any advice?

The NIC is supported if the "iwconfig" command will list an interface
for it (nearly always named wlan0) with some data.
I don't use NetworkManager (it probably doesn't support PPPoE on wlan
which I use), so I don't know how to help if the problem is specific to
NetworkManager.
