nm-applet

[Michael <mklevitsky gmail com>]

I am a bit of a noob on this linux programming stuff in general and
very new to NM.  I could use a little direction.  I am running NM on
Ubuntu Gusty (7.01) and I have not been able to build two of the
projects after getting it from CVS.  Following the directions on the
project page (http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/developers/),

 I am using gcc version 4.1.3 (Ubu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)

after all the checks, NetworkManager build fails with:
"configure: error: wireless-tools >= 28pre9 not installed or not functional"

after all the checks, nm-applet build fails with this line:
root Ridgeview:/home/michael/network-manager-applet# ./autogen.sh

You should update your 'aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Secondly, I was wondering if someone could give a quick answer as to
what it would take to add in a channel number to the wifi listings?  I
have peeked at the nm-applet code, but I was not sure how the XML gets
created or if the channel number is even available in it.

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,

Michael
