=== summary ===
The function is used to launch a Window to do any of the following:
1. configure a wireless profile:
2. select a wireless profile to connect with,
3. connect to a wireless network interface using a wireless profile.

This wizard only connects to the point of access of the wireless network (e.g. a router). For complete network setup and IP address must be assigned and if the network is an access point to the internet then a default gateway and nameserver also needs to be defined.

=== code ===

showProfileWindow is part of wag-profiles.sh located at:

%%/usr/sbin/wag-profiles.sh%%

it is launched automatically if [[wag-profiles.sh]] is called from the command line but is not called by default if wag-profiles.sh is sourced as a function library. This function is usually called from [[http://puppylinux.org/wikka/network_wizard|Network Wizard]] ([[net-setup.sh]]) when someone presses the wireless button on the, "Configure Network Interface window". Once this wireless profile wizard connects to an access point of a wireless network, the wizard exists and returns to the "Configure Network Interface Window" from where the rest of the network setup can be completed such as configuring the [[IP]] address and [[nameserver]].
