    Lo folks,

    I've finally managed to my pcmcia wireless card to work with my laptop (I've fedora release 2 installed using orinoco drivers) the thing I want to be able to do though is check the signal strength and view the connection details. I cant seem to locate any way of monitoring this.. I'm sure its something I'm just missing here. Any pointers would be helpful thanks :D

    Thats the thing when i type that in I get command not found, I realise this is the package not installed. Thanks though.

    Anyway though I've managed to find this little app that does the job nicely.

    A program called AirFart I believe will do what your looking for. I've never used it though.

    With gnome 2.8 they also have an applet that you can add (by default it appears on the taskbar for laptop installs) - tells signal strength in percentage etc..
