iwgtk is a lightweight, graphical wifi management utility for Linux. It is used to control iwd, with supported functionality similar to that of iwctl. It is particularly useful in a system where iwd is being used as a standalone network management daemon (i.e., without NetworkManager).
- Launch application window:
iwgtk - Run in the background with indicator icons:
iwgtk -i
- iwd
- gtk3
To build iwgtk and install it to /usr/local, run:
make
sudo make install
make clean
To install to /usr instead of /usr/local use:
sudo make prefix=/usr install
iwgtk's icon should show up on any system tray which supports the StatusNotifierItem API. If your tray only supports the older XEmbed API, then a compatibility layer such as snixembed is required.
The following trays support StatusNotifierItem:
- KDE Plasma
- swaybar
- xfce4-panel (must be built with the optional libdbusmenu-gtk3 dependency)
The following trays only support XEmbed, and require a compatibility layer:
- AwesomeWM
- i3bar
As of iwd 1.23, user accounts must be added to the netdev group to control iwd.
