Description: This SuperKaramba widget is very handy for laptop users.
It shows your wireless card's signal strength as a series of red lights. 5 red lights is full strength, 0 is a dead signal.
You can also right click on the widget and use the configure menu to turn on text that tells you the exact signal strength and the name of the wireless interface.
I installed the theme, but there are no lights. This is the output of cat /proc/net/wireless

Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks,

Thank You so much for making this! I have needed this. Been haing some trouble getting the distance I wanted out of my wireless card, but last night I was able to watch the strength while tweaking my wireless router and got the distance I needed. Thanks Again!

Me either, I think it is because we both are using eth0 for wireless whereas he uses wlan0
You must not have read the README... :) Did you copy weather.py to /usr/bin?
It works great on my Gentoo enabled iBook! Thanks.

what theme are you using? and what fonts?
I'm using the Bluecurve (Freecurve) widget style and Luxi Sans 12 for my general font.
