The wifi card in my main box is picked up as 'ath0' but wmnet as called by the slit is defaulted to detect eth0, so nothing shows. I can call 'wmnet -W ath0' in xterminal to bring up the app.

Heres the cruch, trying to get the revised wmnet into the slit, i tried adding the passing parameters in the slitlist file but no luck.

Any suggestions?

The slitlist does nothing but control the order in which the applications are displayed in the slit.
wmnet commandline parameters would be added to /usr/bin/enhance and the wmnet line in .fluxbox/menu

An alternative to editing the files would be to create an alias:
wmnet='wmnet -W ath0'
However, I'm not certain that aliases work with fluxbox stable. If not, you can add the wmnet command to .xinitrc to have it load with fluxbox.

Thanks for the suggestions mikshaw, but they all load up wmnet as a seperate floating app. Oh well, I'll have to put up with that then.

You don't have to put up with it. Use the '--withdrawn' option to load it into the slit.
