INFO name : wmifinfo author : Ico Doornekamp email : wmifinfo@zevv.nl DESCRIPTION wmifinfo is a simple applet showing basic network info for all available interfaces. It shows IP address, netmask, gateway and MAC address. A bit like ifconfig. Runs on Linux and OpenBSD (for now) Left-button click moves to the next interface, right-button click calls ifup/ifdown scripts. These can be set with the -u and -d options. The '%s' variable is replaced with the interface name. example : $ wmifinfo -i ppp0 -u "/sbin/ifup %s" -d "/sbin/ifdown %s" (ifup/ifdown or the wmifinfo binaries should be suid root for this to work) Led color Meaning ------------------------------------------------------------------- red interface is down yellow ifup/ifdown script is busy dark green interface is up, no traffic light green interface is up, and sending or receiving INSTALLING - If you have a NoWiresNeeded 1148 or Swallo NIC, set ENABLE_NWN_SUPPORT to 'y' in the makefile to enable wlan signal indication for this type of network adapter. - make - make install USAGE usage: wmifinfo [-lh] [-i interface] -d Command to exec for iface-down -i Start with given interface, if available -l LCD display mode -h Print this help -u Command to exec for iface-up -v Show version info and exit KNOWN BUGS - The link quality readout of the poldhu/swallow cards is slow and may be unreliable, due to the way this is implemented in the firmware and driver. (Bas?) THANKS - Peter Stromberg for adding OpenBSD support - Ben Stern for endian-correctness and old-libc support patches - Michael G. Henderson's wmWeather for some example dockapp code.
