As the name suggests it manages the wireless network in a very simplistic way. This version have wifi WPA and WEP, with dhcp and static networks. To use it, just place the vswm.cfg file at /etc/ and add there your existing networks. When you call the script (without any argument) it will scan the available networks and connect you to the first available network that appears on the cfg file.
VSWM can be found at GitHub
https://github.com/dmelo/vswm. A ZIP file can
be found on the link

Replace master with the a version number (e.g.: 0.1) to get an specific
version.
cp vswm /usr/local/bin/
cp vswm.cfg /etc/
Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH. Copy the following line into your
.bashrc file (or /etc/bashrc, or /etc/profile)
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Reload the .bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Finally, edit /etc/vswm.cnf to include information about your networks.
sudo vswm [ESSID]
It will make the script read the /etc/vswm.cfg file and connect to an available network listed there, if any.
The optional argument ESSID can be used to determine which AP to connect to. Specially useful when more than one known ESSID is in range.
