    NetworkManager w/o KDE or Gnome

    Calling out to everyone out there.

    Is there anyway to run the graphical interface of NetworkManager without having to install Gnome or KDE. Right now I'm just running X11 and I like the simplicity, but I can't connect to my school's wireless.

    Any ideas?

    Yup Wifi Radar and yes it is in Debian.
    Code:
    su
    apt-get install wifi-radar
    Fortunately it is written in Python/GTK so no QT ugliness.

    wifi-radar doesn't work with my school's wireless network. The school uses WPA2 with PEAP and CA certificates. The only two programs which are known to work are knetworkmanager, and network-manager-gnome. But I can't seem to run either of them just using X11.

    I've also tried using wpa_supplicant, but it won't authenticate properly.

    you can use network-manager if you use xfce.
