Similar program to nm-editor from ubuntu.
Using ubuntu i am used to edit my wireless networks from rightclicking nm-applet and choose "edit my wireless connections".
I wonder if this is possible in arch, or is there a file i can edit.
I dont want it to not use a network automaticaly.

Re: Similar program to nm-editor from ubuntu.
you can always install network manager too on arch (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager) ... or you can use netcfg2 (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles).

Re: Similar program to nm-editor from ubuntu.
Sry. Wrote this one a little too fast. I HAVE networkmanager installed and working.
The problem however is that it connects to an wireless network i dont want it to connect to.
How can i choose wich network it should prefer before another, or completly remove the saved wpa-key for a network?

Re: Similar program to nm-editor from ubuntu.
On Ubuntu, you need to remove ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/<ESSID>; not sure if Arch is the same, but it should be.
