As far as I understand the documentation, Ceni is not a Curses 
replacement for wpa_gui as I first expected it was. It is a helper to 
build the initial configuration of wpa_supplicant. This can be usefull 
for people who are not comfortable with text editors. To be able to do 
this initial configuration, Ceni asks for the root password.

     One good thing about Ceni's documentation is that it contains an 
up-to-date howto for people who still want to do this configuration with 
the text editor, while the howto I have given in a recent mail is for 
older versions of wpa_supplicant. The reason is that in older versions 
of wpa_supplicant, there was only one config file, wpa_supplicant.conf, 
while the newer version splits configuration between wpa_supplicant.conf 
and wpa_roam.conf.
