I agree that wifi-radar is easy to install and use.

I cannot understand why Fedora does not base setting up WiFi
on something like this.

Linux WiFi setup is unbelievably BAD,
and Fedora manages to be worse that most other Linux distributions.

Whoever is responsible for the various WiFi configuration tools
should be gently eased out of the job,
and the author of wifi-radar asked to take the position.
