How to change wireless network

The right side of my laptop screen is thrashed from falling on the ground so I can't see the wireless icon on crunchbang. Any idea's on how to work with wireless without that icon? Thanks

Re: How to change wireless network

Are you running C.B or did you mean bunsen?  Anywho, learn the command line, it's your friend!  As I've been finding out there's a plethora of tools installed that can interface with your wireless configuration.

look into the man pages for iw, and the networkmanager (from the command line, you'll be using the nmcli  suite of commands ) If you're feeling adventerous, download rfkill as well.

A good one is

nmcli device status 

nmcli general

nmcli radio

all gives some good high level output of your wifi settings.

Or you could move the  tint2 panel to the left side of your screen (vertical) or to the bottom of the screen (horizontal) if the right bottom is still intact.

Re: How to change wireless network

Trick #1: Edit your tint2rc file (propably ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc) and edit line that looks like

panel_items = LTSBC

so that S for systray is in the beginning:

panel_items = SLTBC

That would put the systray on the left.

Trick #2: Change panel width to 50 %.

Edit: basically the same idea by xaos52; move your tint2 panel or its contents so that you can see the network icon.

Using the command line -

nmtui

will bring up a ncurses interface similar to ceni for NetworkManager.
