+WiFi Radar is a Python utility for managing WiFi profiles.  It enables 
+you to scan for available networks and create profiles for your preferred 
+networks. At boot time, running WiFi Radar will automatically scan for an 
+available preferred network and connect to it. You can drag and drop your 
+preferred networks to arrange the profile priority.
+
+This requires pygtk, which in turn requires pygobject and pycairo, all of 
+which are also available at SlackBuilds.org
+
+This script installs a wifi-radar.sh script in /usr/bin that by default 
+runs /usr/sbin/wifi-radar with sudo.  You can change this to use ksudo 
+instead by running the script thusly:
+	./wifi-radar.SlackBuild KSUDO=yes
+
+To use wifi-radar with a normal user (with sudo) add to your /etc/sudoers:
+	%users   ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/wifi-radar
+
+Then launch wifi-radar.sh, which will handle setting up a proper environment 
+and running /usr/sbin/wifi-radar.
+
+If you want to scan and connect to one of your preferred networks at
+boot, the recommended way is to add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+and make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar is executable.
+	if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar ]; then
+	  /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar start
+	fi
+And of course, to rc.local_shutdown:
+	if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar ]; then
+	  /etc/rc.d/rc.wifi-radar stop
+	fi
+
+Please note that according to the manpage, wifi-radar is fairly power hungry 
+due to its constant scan nature.  You may not wish to have it running in the 
+background all the time sucking battery juice.
+
+Make sure /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf is only readable by root (or perhaps
+the group that owns it in some cases).  We install the file with mode 0600 by
+default, but this was not the case in some earlier revisions, so you should
+double-check it to be sure.
