I decided to write a complete network manager for 2 main reasons: 1) networkmanager is still between 2 versions, write a front end now want to say re-write it in a couple of months. (I started exalt 8-12 months ago). 2) exalt was not supposed to be what it is now :) As e17 is completely independent of Gnome libs, kde libs ..., I decided to write a completely independent network manager. Currently Gos and Elive use exalt instead of networkmanager. I prepare a first stable release because they need one. I'm alone on the project, that's why the code is not perfect, my current aim is to complete the documentation and clean the code. -- Regards, Atton Jonathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
