I have. It's written in python, and needs a lot of work (fex, last time I checked it had no support for mobile broadband wireless).
I'd prefer C over python, and I figured that wouldn't be too difficult given what nm-applet already offers. Pidgin might be a good example - they seem to have nm-applet functionality built in. So going the C lib route would allow for a cli program (library frontend) as well a building this functionality into other programs. In this sense python feels restrictive. -Bryan On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 3:29 PM, Rodney Morris <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 2:26 PM, Bryan Duff<[email protected]> wrote: > > Is there anyone going forward with this? > > > > It would be useful for non-X or non-KDE/GNOME setups.
