Hi under Kcontrol ive noticed many distributions have Knetworkconf. Description: KNetworkConf is a KDE Control Center Module to configure the Network settings in a simple and intuitive way. It has the following 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). While this can be done via ifconfig, it would be nice if this was in portage. I would write an ebuild, but then I noticed this: 10/08/2005: Today KNetworkConf was moved from kdereview to kdeadmin module in both main trunk and KDE 3.5 branch in KDE svn, so yes, it will be part of the next KDE release (and from now on). In this next version Wireless support has been greatly improved and profiles support is almost finished, it will be ready for KDE 3.5. http://knetworkconf.sourceforge.net/ Shouldn't this be official?
