KNemo - the KDE Network Monitor
 
KNemo offers a network monitor similar to the one found in Windows.
For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray. 
 
Features of version 0.2.1 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
 * you can activate 2 custom entries for the context menu. They can
   have custom text and a command to run when selected. You can even
   select if the commands need root permissions or not.
 * 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.

Let me know of any bugs or problems you encounter! If a tab is empty
or shows wrong data please always include the output of 'ifconfig' or
'iwconfig' and a screenshot. That way it is much easier for me to fix
it.
 
IMPORTANT: KNemo is not an executable but an KDED service. Therefore
it has to be started using Control Center/KDE Components/Service
Manager. Please also note, that the wireless-tab as seen in screenshot
2 is only available, if the output of 'iwconfig' contains the
appropriate interface.
