+=== A new Wi-Fi management utility: wutil

+
+package:net/wutil[] is a Wi-Fi management utility that supports most man:wpa_supplicant[8] station-mode operations (scanning, connecting or disconnecting from wireless networks, and managing known networks, etc.), accessible with much nicer interfaces.
+It also automatically manages and updates man:wpa_supplicant.conf[8].
+SSIDs with Unicode characters are also handled nicely.
+
+man:wutil[8] is the Command-Line Interface (CLI), whereas man:wutui[8] is the Terminal User Interface (TUI).
+wutui was built without any dependency on TUI libraries, by just spell-casting ANSI escape sequences in uncooked terminal raw mode and a man:kqueue[2] based event loop.
+Both utilities communicate with wpa_supplicant via its control socket interface.
+There is also a dependency on package:net/libifconfig[] for interface related functions.
+
+In the future, I plan to support AP-mode operations from man:hostapd[8], clean up the TUI components and perhaps move away from wpa_supplicant to handle authentication in-house.
+
+wutil is now available in ports.
+Give it a whirl!
+Contributions, bug reports and feature requests are very welcome on GitHub.
