I don't have a clue what is wrong, it looks like the right .pc file is
known to pkg-config, but Ill continue looking at it when I have time for
it.

Interesting. I didn't know that. What type of updates?
What I first would like is the possibility to change accesspoint to connect
to. Later changes are possibilities to create new connections or handle all
network interfaces, not only wireless lan. I gladly discuss how we can
help each other (or you help me).

Ive put up a simple homepage,  
http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~mk0foma/projekt/XFCE/
where I put newest version and thoughts. I hope it explains some of my  
ideas.
