if you get GNOME-2.2, there's an applet that does it nicely. However, it says 'WiFi'. I'm working on changing the pixmaps to get it to say 'Airport', but the pixmap is like 8x16.

Cool, I tried to hack together an ebuild for this:
| Code: | # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
S=${WORKDIR}/wmwave
DESCRIPTION="WMaker DockApp: Wireless ethernet signal strength monitor"
SRC_URI="http://www.schuermann.org/~dockapps/dist/wmwave-0-4.tgz"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.schuermann.org/~dockapps/"
DEPEND="virtual/x11
net-wireless/wireless-tools"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc"
src_compile() {
emake || die
}
src_install () {
dobin wmwave
dodoc COPYING README
}
|
It seems to work, but it's my first, so please go easy on me  . I didn't include the LICENSE keyword because that wasn't immediately clear (prob. GPL but I wanted to be sure).
Greetings, |

Make it a icon that is a airport base station...like a little airport that would be sweet. |
