wireless applet for wi interface

[Olivier Cortes]

Hi,

the wifi gnome2 applet opens /proc/sys/wireless hard in the code... it
expects the "/proc linux interface" everywhere. unless someones makes it
freebsd (or *bsd ?) friendly, it is not going to work today :-(

is there any page where i can find a porting guide for this kind of app?
i mean : should i simply insert #ifdef __FreeBSD__ in the code, or is
there a more elegant way to do it ?

regards,

Olivier Cortes
