Free networkmanager 0.6.5 software for linux

NetworkManager program is a network connection manager for most RPM and Debian-based distros.

Supports Ethernet, WiFi, VPN connections.

Networking on Linux should not suck like it does right now for the desktop user. The desktop user should never need to use the command-line to configure their network; it should "Just Work" as automatically as possible and intrude as little as possible into the users workflow.

The computer should use the wired network connection when its plugged in, but automatically switch to a wireless connection when the user unplugs it and walks away from the desk.

Likewise, when the user plugs the computer back in, the computer should switch back to the wired connection. The user should, most times, not even notice that their connection has has been managed for them; they should simply see uninterrupted network connectivity.

Flexible, Extendable, and Open

The most important pieces of NetworkManager are desktop-environment and distribution agnostic, functioning just as well in Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc. across distributions like Fedora Core, Debian, Gentoo, and Slackware.

And since the NetworkManager components communicate with each other using dbus, its easy to rip out and replace any of the User Interface pieces at any time.

Application Integration

Using the awesome power and flexibility of dbus and hal, NetworkManager provides facilities for other desktop applications like browsers and email clients to be aware of the networks state and adjust their operation accordingly for features like offline operation.

KNetworkManager is the KDE front end for NetworkManager. KNetworkManager project provides a sophisticated and intuitive user interface which enables users easily to switch their network environment.

The range of functions encompasses the features implemented by NetworkManager daemon. Up until now NetworkManager supports:

Wired Ethernet Devices (IEEE 802.3)
Wireless Ethernet Devices (IEEE 802.11): Unencrypted, WEP, WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise
Virtual Private Network (VPN): OpenVPN, VPNC
Dial-Up (PPP)

How does it work?

For both, Wireless LAN and Wired LAN, NetworkManager supports devices known to HAL. Unless working in offline mode, NetworkManager tries to keep the system connected at any time. For this, NetworkManager follows the following policy.

Once started, NetworkManager asks HAL about available network interfaces. If a wired network interface with a carrier is found, NetworkManager connects to this. Either by DHCP (default) or by setting up previously defined static configuration. Later on, when KNetworkManager starts up, NetworkManager will expose its information about network devices and wireless networks found by scanning to the applet.

At this point, if a user decides to unplug the wired connection, NetworkManager will not connect to an arbitrary wireless network. By default all available networks are untrusted. Only if a user decides to connect to a network manually once, this specific network n henceforth being marked as trusted.

n = { ESSID, Hardware address or addresses of the access point}

The trusted networks are stored individually for each user. KNetworkManager stores them and informs NetworkManager about the known, trusted networks. If a wired connection drops due to unplugging the cable NetworkManager will automatically connect to a trusted network. As this step was done without user interaction, NetworkManager will reconnect to the wired connection once it has a carrier.

If a user joins a wireless network by manual intervention (e.g. user clicks on a network listed in the context menu of KNetworkManager or connects to a hidden wireless network), NetworkManager will take down any previous connection. If one unplugs the wired connection after such a step, NetworkManager will not connect to the wired connection once it has a carrier.

whatsnewfm is a filter for the daily newsletter from freshmeat.net that only shows "new" or "interesting" items.

The main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by only showing items that you didnt see before.

The items already seen will be stored in a database. After some time, the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are included in a newsletter.

If you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can add it to a "hot" list. Items in the hot list are checked for updates so that you dont miss anything about your favourite programs.

oxine project is a lightweight gui for the famous xine engine which uses the on screen display functionality of xine to display its user interface elements like buttons, lists sliders and so on.
Due to this, oxine can easily be ported to any video output device the xine library provides (e.g. frame buffer, dxr3,...) and is particularly suitable for appliances like set-top boxes, home entertainment systems or kiosk systems.
Main features:
- x11, dxr3 and framebuffer output
- mouse, keyboard and lirc support
- autoplay dvd, vcd, svcd, cdrom and audio cd
- browse and select from your own mediamarks
- browsing through file system, m3u playlists and audio cd tracks
- goom support
- playlists
- automatic stream title blending
Quite straight forward. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of xine-lib. At least beta9 is required. Then download and unpack oxine source tarball, change to the directory created and type.
./configure --prefix=/some/path
make
make install
If you checked oxine out of CVS make sure that you have recent versions of autoconf and automake installed. (Tested with: automake 1.7.2 and autoconf 2.57.) Then type
./autogen.sh --prefix=/some/path
make
make install
To set up autoplay functionality make sure of the following things:
- cdrom or dvd drive is mountable by the user oxine runs with
- cdrom or dvd device and mountpoint are set correctly. Default is device: /dev/dvd mountpoint: /dvd. To change this, run oxine one time and click on shutdown. Oxine will then create its default config file in your home (~/.oxine/config). While oxine is not running, edit this file with an editor.
If you use lirc, make sure that you dont have irxevent daemon running. Otherwise oxine may get all lirc events twice which is really frustrating. There is a default lircrc installed in $PREFIX/share/oxine. You can customize this file in place or - much better - copy it to ~/.oxine where it will not be overwritten if oxine is reinstalled. If you upgrade oxine, read the ChangeLog - the lirc file config options may change from time to time.
Start oxine with
oxine [options] [mrls...]
options are:
-h print command line help
-v print oxines version
-f start in fullscreen mode
-V driver let xine use specified video driver e.g.: auto, xv, xshm, dxr3, ...
-A driver let xine use specified audio driver e.g.: auto, oss, alsa, ...
Enhancements:
- Added check for version of libjsw to catch JSClose bug.
- Added check for necessary files to detect bad installation.

Easy various links manager or Everest Linux Links Manager (evlinks) is a network manager and config toolkit that aims to replace network services and networkmanager.

Tthe design of evlinks:

1. use mac address as config file names to avoid interface name change.

2. multi profile support, for example, you can have a setting for Office and another setting for home.

3. never display info such as "eth0/wlan0/ath0" to users. what is the meaning of this strange words for normal user?

4. coupled loosely, if any component of evlinks crash or can not work, others works very well.

5. policy support: for example, whether start wired at booting time,whether start wireless at booting time,offline or online, if wired line unpluged, shall we switch to wireless?

The components of evlinks:

1. evlinkslo/evlinksboot:

run at system booting.
enable loopback and other interfaces according to config file.

2. evlinksiw, wireless config tool

3. evlinkswireless, a wrapper for evlinksiw to handle multiple wireless adapters. if you only have one wireless adapter, it will start evlinksiw directly.

4. evlinksw, wired config tool, support multiple profiles.

5. evlinkswired, same as evlinkswireless, a wrapper for evlinksw to handle multiple wired adapter.

6. evlinksmonitor, a hal client to monitor the adapter changes. since it use hal, then we can catch the signal when new adapter plugged and removed.

7. evlinkstraffic, network traffic monitor. used in evlinksmonitor and evlinkspppoe.

8. evlinkspppoe, PPPoE clients, used to connect ADSL(no PPPoA support)

9. evlinksdispatcher and evlinksrun. dirty code to help normal user run it easily.that is to say, normal user use evlinksrun to call evlinks utils, they all run as super user. it is not a good design, also had security problem, need change later.

Xherkin 0.6.5 is an excellent utility for web developers. It is a PHP framework being developed as part of a new CMS.

Qtella is a peer-to-peer client using Gnutella protocol.
Sharing files over decentralized networks (peer-to-peer) has become very popular. The Gnutella network (Gnet) is one of these p2p networks which is an open network. The advantage of a decentralized network is that no server exists, which could be a single point of failure. Instead, every client acts as client and server at the same time. Due to this fact these clients are often called Servents. But using decentralized networks has also disadvanteges. The main drawback of missing central servers is that connecting to the net takes longer.
Qtella is one of these servents for Linux for the Gnutella network with many useful features. Most of these features are taken from the comments and suggestions of Qtella users. I want to thank all of these users. Qtella is written in C++ and uses the Qt libraries. It is available for Linux/Unix. Also a developer version for the Sharp Zaurus exists. A Win32 version is currently in progress (an alpha version is already available but its very unstable). [cCOPYRIGHT=1]
