Re: [orca-list] Connecting to a wireless network using Orca

[Guy Schlosser <guyster bex net>]

Hi all, wifi-radar works really well also when wanting to list ssid's 
that you can connect to in a given location.  You have to have 
sysadmin stuff set up with Orca, but if you do, it works beautifully.

Thanks,


Guy
