Wireless-applet

[Jono Juggler]

Interesting. I figured the wireless applet would be a simple thing to
use in freebsd. I am confused since it seems that there is active work
on the applet, like this:

l

If people are patching it, I figured they must have it running.

Does anyone know any sort of graphical client to find and connect to
available networks? My device driver works, and I can connect at the
command line. Or is there a way to run the Linux "NetworkManager" in
FreeBSD:
