+WiFi Radar is a Python/PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles on GNU/Linux.
+
+It enables you to scan for available networks and create profiles for your
+preferred networks. You can drag and drop your preferred networks to arrange
+the profile priority.
+
+WiFi Radar is tested to work with an Intel iwlagn 6300 on Slackware but
+should work just the same for any iwconfig interface.
+
+NOTE: wifi-radar needs to run as root. You may need to issue:
+ xhost +local:root
+which you can put in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc etc.
+
+I've installed the program into /opt/radar-wifi and created a
+/usr/bin/wifi-radar script that sets $DISPLAY which defaults to :0.0
+For other $DISPLAY's you can edit the script in the slackbuild
+directory, or pass DISPLAY=:N.n to wifi-radar on the command line.
