Introduction +KNetworkConf is a TDE Control Center module to configure the Network +settings in a Linux machine. I developed it because I couldn't find any +application to do this from within KDE, and I think this is a "must have" +app for a serious Desktop Enviroment like KDE. + +KNetworkConf features: + +* Configure installed network devices (you can't add new ones for now) +in basic and advanced mode (ie. don't auto configure broadcast and +netmask values). +* Autodetection of wireless interfaces. +* Configure the default gateway and gateway device. +* Configure host and domain names. +* Add/remove DNS servers (/etc/resolv.conf). +* Add/Remove known Hosts (/etc/hosts). + +KNetworkConf works now in 15 different platforms: + +* BlackPanther OS +* Conectiva Linux +* Debian Linux +* Fedora Linux +* FreeBSD +* Gentoo Linux +* Mandriva Linux +* OpenNA Linux +* Polish Linux Distribution +* Red Hat Linux +* Slackware Linux +* Specifix Linux +* TurboLinux +* Vine Linux + +KNetworkConf uses the Gnome System Tools (gst) +(http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/) network backend to find out the network +values in a platform-independient manner. This backends are a bunch of perl +scripts that use XML files to communicate with different frontends. + +NOTE:You don't need to have GNOME nor GST installed AT ALL to run +KNetworkConf. The network backend comes included. + +2. Requirements +* KDE 3.1.x +* Qt 3.1.x +* Perl +* libxml +* autoconf > 2.5x/automake > 1.6 + +3. Installation +For installation instructions, please see the INSTALL file, but for +a quick start you can do: + +./configure +make +su root +make istall + +Mandriva users must add --prefix=/usr to the configure script to +install the files in the correct path and run update-menus after make install. + +4.
