Firstly it currently requires DHCP, and while that is fine for networks I control, others may not have it and do I need the ability to define static data which this does not give me.
Secondly as far as I can see currently this is integrated into GNOME, but not KDE. While obviously I can run a GNOME app under KDE part of the point of an app like this is its menu applet, and unless something changed recently GNOME applets do not run under KDE. However it may be a good starting point. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
