NetworkControl 0.1

NetworkControl is a utility to control and monitor network interfaces, including wireless ones (for which you see a signal strength meter, as shown). NetworkControl addresses a conspicuous lack in most Linux distributions — most tend to be short on easy-to-use network utilities, even something as trivial as a robust, informative way to log on and off a dialup connection. NetworkControl also provides the connection IP, configuration and statistics (gleaned from "ifconfig" and updated each second), and provides graphic signal levels for wireless interfaces, handy for evaluating a system of wireless devices. NetworkControl allows you to see network activity at a glance and lets you control your network interfaces in a fast, convenient way. It is designed to be easy to use and informative. If you have downloaded the binary, just put it in /usr/local/bin, give it executable permissions and run it like this: networkcontrol You can make a desktop shortcut with this as its executable target. If you have downloaded the source package: Put it in any convenient location. tar -xjf networkcontrol.tar.bz2 cd networkcontrol.dist ./auto_install.sh If you dont want the automatic installation or you want to fine-tune the process, instead of running "auto_install.sh", after the unpacking step above, do this: make -f Makefile.cvs dist ./configure make sudo make install Obviously you may want to modify some of these steps to suit your platform..
