Ceni

 * One of tools for wired and wirelles networks managing is an application made by sidux developers - Ceni.
 * There is Ceni network configuration guide for the chapter: Sidux/Installation/Ceni
 * When you configure the network, it doesn't need any more your attention.



Wicd

 * But if you change an access point often I suggest to install any graphic network configurator.
 * Wicd is a default network configurator for XFCE so install it as root:

apt-get install wicd
 * 1. You will be asked for adding a new user to "netdev" group - mark it with "space" bottom as "x" and click OK.


 * 2. Re-boot your computer.
 * 3. Open Wicd from desktop panel-> Preferences tab-> Network Interfaces:
 * a. For Wireless type: wlan0
 * b. For Wired type: eth0 and click on-> OK.


 * 4. Refresh network list and find yours-> mark for Automatically connection to this network.


 * 5. If you use wireless connection open "Properties" and type your network key if required.
