Hi 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

Design, development and usage can all be discussed on this list.

Thanks

Roy
