NetworkControl is a utility to control and
monitor network interfaces, including wireless
ones (for which you see a signal strength meter,
as shown). It addresses a conspicuous lack in most
Linux distributions: most tend to be short on
easy-to-use network utilities, even something as
trivial as a robust, informative way to log on and
off a dialup connection. It also provides the
connection IP, configuration, and statistics
(gleaned from "ifconfig" and updated every
second), and provides graphical signal levels for
wireless interfaces, handy for evaluating a system
of wireless devices. It allows you to see network
activity at a glance and lets you control your
network interfaces in a fast, convenient way. It
is designed to be informative and easy to use.
