Please do no longer use the KDE Service Manager to start and +stop KNemo. This change was necessary to keep KNemo from starting automatically +for every user in a multiuser environment. + +Features of version 0.4.5 include: + * support for ethernet (including wireless) and ppp connections + * the icon shows incoming/outgoing traffic + * hiding of icon when the interface is not available + * hiding of icon when the interface does not exist (useful for interfaces that + are dynamically created and and removed) + * automatic detection of wireless extensions for ethernet interfaces + * left-clicking on an icon displays a status dialog with information about the + selected interface (2nd click hides dialog) + * middle-clicking on an icon displays a traffic plotter that was taken from + KSysGuard (2nd click hides dialog) + * configuration via context menu or control center module (Internet & Network/ + Network Monitor) + * customizable tooltip for quick access to often needed information + * custom entries in the context menu. Useful to start/stop/restart interfaces + or to configure them using external tools. + * automatic detection of available interfaces (click on 'Default' in the + configuration dialog and KNemo will look under /proc/net/dev for interfaces) + * support for notifications via sound and passive popups + * KNemo counts the number of transfered bytes and does not depend on the output + of 'ifconfig' for the total number of transfered bytes. This way KNemo can + even display a hugh amount of traffic while 'ifconfig' has an overflow at 4GB. + * support for different iconsets for every interface + * support for daily, monthly and yearly statistics + * configurable update interval for interface informations + * support for different backends to gather information |
