If you follow the
instruction from the
Miro homepage you get a dependency problem under Gutsy, as it depends on an older package of libboost-python. You can also find the bug report
here.If you don't want to wait for a new version for Gutsy you can just download the required library from feisty
repository.
Unfortunately I do get the following error message when starting up Miro:
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/dbus_bindings.py:1: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is not public API and will go away soon.
Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception
dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException
instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2).

At the moment I'm using both and the time, but I think I'm going to stick with GFreqlet even though the icon is to large for my taste.
You can get it from

the network-manager newer really worked well for me. It looked very promising however. Now I came across the article
Go Wireless With WCID on
OSSGeeks.
There is no need to duplicate the nice article above on how to install it, as it is very good explained.
I gave it a try and I was really impressed with the simpleness of
WCID.
