dhcpcd-dbus and dhcpcd-gtk available

Mon Jan 26 13:48:54 2009Hi List dhcpcd-gtk is a GTK+ monitor for dhcpcd. It uses dhcpcd-dbus to actually talk to dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant. The end game is to be a viable alternative to NetworkManager for wired and wireless setups but without reliance on Linux specific libraries - we just require dhcpcd and GTK+ available on your platform. At present, dhcpcd-gtk is just an application which sits in the notification area. The icon has several states, showing offline, address negotiation and online. When attempting to negotiate an address you get a nice animation. A notification bubble is also shown per interface state change. Future versions will have Access Point selection and dhcpcd configuration options. tracs have been installed at http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd-dbus http://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd-gtk Design, development and usage can all be discussed on this list. Thanks Roy
