--------------------------------------------------------------

Description
============
netGo is a distribution-independent networking tool (written in Qt) for changing network settings quickly and easily. It is intended for laptop owners, who often need to change network settings when relocating.
It allows you to create profiles that contain the network settings such as the IP, netmask, gateway, name servers and wireless options. After creating a profile it can be executed with a single click.
netGo is distributed under the terms of the GPL-license. 

Features
* Configure an interface with static IP, netmask, gateway and nameservers.
* Configure an interface using DHCP.
* Configure an interface using wireless options.
* Execute a profile from the commandline - without GUI.
* System tray support (works in KDE, Gnome etc).
 
Requirements
============
* Qt 3.2.x or better.
* net-tools (ifconfig, route etc).
* wireless-tools (needed for wireless settings).
* dhcpcd or dhclient (needed for dhcp usage).

Version 0.4
===========

Changes
- System tray support (works in KDE, Gnome etc).
- QSettings is used to store the profiles and other settings.
- The icons are now embedded in the binary.
- It's now possible to have spaces in the essid- and key-field (my bad).

Known bugs
- None so far.

Goals for coming releases
- Proxy support (http and ftp).
- The possibility to bring down other interfaces.
- Support for sudo?

There is a configure script for netGo, do:

`./configure`

and after that:

`make`

If you would like to install the application (as root):

The program files will be copied to /usr/netgo and an executable will be placed in /usr/bin/netgo.
