WIFI-MENU(1)
============
NAME
----
wifi-menu - Interactively connect to a wireless network
SYNOPSIS
--------
*wifi-menu* [-o | --obscure] [+INTERFACE+]
*wifi-menu* [-h | --help]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
*wifi-menu* allows to interactively connect to a wireless network on
+INTERFACE+ using a netctl profile. In case no netctl profile is
available, one can be generated. If only one wireless interface is
available, +INTERFACE+ can be omitted.
*wifi-menu* is only able to generate netctl profiles for simple network
configurations. Profiles for more complex configurations must be set up
manually. See *netctl.profile*(5) for more information.
OPTIONS
-------
+-h+, +--help+::
Print a short help text and exit.
+-o+, +--obscure+::
Show asterisks for the characters of the password and store the password
as a hexadecimal pre-shared key.
+INTERFACE+::
The wireless network interface to use for connecting.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
+0+::
The interface connected to the wireless network successfully.
+1+::
The connection attempt was canceled.
+2+::
The connection attempt failed.
+3+::
No wireless networks were found.
+4+::
Invalid passphrase length (+WEP+ keys must be between 8 and 63
characters in length).
+7+::
An unexpected error code was received.
+255+::
The command was invalid or the connection attempt was aborted.
NOTES
-----
Establishing a connection may take a minute. While establishing a
connection, nothing is shown on screen.
Starting a connection on an interface that is controlled by
*netctl-auto* will cause *wifi-menu* to switch to the selected network.
The interface will continue to be controlled by *netctl-auto*.
ENVIRONMENT
-----------
'$NETCTL_DEBUG'::
If set to +"yes"+, debugging output is generated.
FILES
-----
'/etc/netctl'::
Directory where generated profiles are stored.
