I recently started to use FreeBSD, and I am used to simpler Windows software. I'm trying to use dstumbler with my wireless card, and it works but I don't really know what it's doing! The webpage just says "All command hotkeys within the program are pretty much self explanitory", but that doesn't help me, because I don't understand it. What's the difference between the > and the * before each line? Is there any place that says how strong the signal is? Most of all, how do I join a network? Can I do this with dstumbler or is this just info that I have to use with ifconfig? What if I want to try to crack encryption with one of the related tools? I'd rather use something simpler and graphical, if there's anything like that out there--is there? All I want to do is use wireless, I don't want to get too technical! Thanks.
