How to install
	Prerequisites:
	pkg_add p5-Gtk2-1.24992 p5-Gtk2-Ex-Simple-List-0.50p2

	$ make install

	This will install to ~/bin.
	You can also override the PREFIX and PROGRAM name variables
	like so:

	# make PREFIX=/usr/local/bin install
	Of course now you will need to be root. Or if you prefer a
	different name you could try:

	$ make PROGRAM=wifi-gui install
	It will now be ~/bin/wifi-gui.

How to use
	Add the following to your .xinitrc

	~/bin/wifi &

	Your user will need elevated privileges. To accomplish
	this you will need to use doas(1) like so:

	/etc/doas.conf
	permit nopass myuser as root cmd ifconfig
	permit nopass myuser as root cmd dhclient

	If you want the script to check for an existing connection
	before launching the gui use the `-c' command line switch.
	It will check for a connection and exit if you are already
	connected.

	Use of gtk stock images has been turned on. If for somereason
	this looks bad or causes problems turn them off with the `-i'
	command line switch.

	If you select the box to remember the network then it 
	will save the network id and password in a database located
	at ~/.networks. If you deselect the box on a previously
	saved network then it will remove the network from the 
	database. Another option should you feel your database has 
	grown too large, just delete it. It will be repopulated should
	you decide to start remembering networks again.

Bug Reports
	If you experience issues please provide the following:

	ifconfig $if scan

	Run ~/bin/wifi from an xterm and provide any output it 
	gives you in the terminal.
