Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: guessnet
System name: guessnet
Type: non-GNU

Description:
guessnet is a tool that guesses what network is connected to an ethernet device.

guessnet takes a list of candidate profiles on input, each with one or more ways to 
scan for them, and runs each scan in parallel; the first scan that succeeds causes the 
corresponding name to be printed in  standard output and the program to exit 
immediately.

Available scan methods are ARP probing for interface with a given macaddress and 
executing external scripts.  guessnet\'s internal design easily allows the 
implementation of new scan methods in the future.

guessnet can be used standalone or run in an \"ifupdown mode\" designed to seamlessly 
integrate with ifupdown.  In ifupdown mode, guessnet can be used as in a \"script\" 
directive, reads candidate profiles directly from /etc/network/interfaces and in fact 
enhances an existing ifupdown configuration with smart network detection.

This tool is already a part of Debian, and you can find it at 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/guessnet.html

In need of a place to use for cooperative development of guessnet, Savannah seemed to 
be the right choice.

Other Software Required:
Guessnet depends on libnet and libpcap
