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

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
