KNetDockApp

A small application that docks in the systray and monitors the activity of the selected network interface.
It also monitors the link status - could detect if a networking cable is attached to the nic or not...
Supports session management, and runs on next logins. Support auto device remove/insert.

* To rebuild from source run ./autogen.sh in the root package folder.


Requires linux 2.4 or 2.6
