Wmwlmon is a WindowMaker dockapp that displays the status of a wireless network interface.
Moreover, the signal strength from the connected access point is displayed in decibels (dB), providing users with an accurate measure of the strength of their wireless connection. The signal strength is also shown in percentages via a bar graph, where a full bar indicates that the user has access to the full bandwidth throughput in Mbps.
The channel number is also displayed, and the software features a red lock icon that shines whenever WEP is enabled. Finally, the last line shows the network ID. Note that the wmwlmon project can be easily compiled and tested on both OpenBSD and FreeBSD operating systems.
This software has undergone significant improvements in its latest version. Firstly, Nathan Lay's diff brought about the successful porting of the software to FreeBSD. Additionally, Sam Chill's diff has introduced support for signal strength only found in WaveLAN chipsets. Finally, the software has undergone a style update to enhance its overall aesthetic appeal.
In conclusion, the wmwlmon project offers an excellent solution that provides WindowMaker users with the necessary information on their wireless network interface. Its various features ensure that users can monitor their wireless network connectivity effortlessly.
