+wlassistant - user friendly TDE frontend for wireless network connection
+
+
+Wireless Assistant scans for wireless access points and displays link quality,
+encryption and other useful information. When user wants to connect to a
+network, Wireless Assistant opens up its wizards and guides the user through
+Wi-Fi settings. After a successful connection is made the settings are
+remembered so next time the user won't have to enter them again.
+
+
+Usage tips
+------------
+
++ The highlited entry representing network that you are connected to has an
+ icon left of the ESSID. If this icon is grayed out, it means that you are
+ successfully connected to the AP, but the internet is not reachable. In this
+ case, the problem is most likely on the AP side. If the icon is in full-colour,
+ it means that both AP and Internet are accessible.
+
++ Increasing the DHCP Timeout option might help if you have trouble connecting to
+ some networks. However, before you do increase this value, double-check that all
+ other settings (esp. WEP) are set correctly.
+
++ If it takes a long time to detect an existing connection, you are using a DHCP
+ client and message "...from 'route'" appears in the console, you might want to
+ edit wlassistantrc and make sure that DHCP PID Path and DHCP Info Path for your
+ DHCP client are set correctly.
+
+ If you delete these values from the config file, they will be reverted to defaults
+ next time you run Wireless Assistant.
