display wireless signal strength in karamba

[gordonb]

Here's the configuration file which adds a signal strength bar to karamba (adapted from the maverick theme of arkaine). It may be necessary to edit this for your laptop. On mine, the wlan card is eth0. The script parses the file /proc/net/wireless for the signal strength and displys it. Your results may vary.

Very nice. I moved your post over to the Tips and Tricks forum. I hope to give it a try next time I use Karamba.
