Hallo, I'm very interested in this topic and an E17 network manager is really needed by my OpenGEU distro too. Well, I believe taht a good choice would be that of using Network Manager from Gnome: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ As the main command line daemon. Than we would just have to develop an E17 fronted / gui to handle it, as in gnome, for example, there's network-manager-gnome and in KDE they have network-manager-kde. It would strongly increase interoperability rather than creating a new tool from scratch. As for the frontend, I think something looking and acting like WiCD: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ Would really be nice. Just wished to express my opinion! Bye everyone,
