Linux on any device

Igelle Connector is a network management tool for Linux-like operating systems, capable of connecting to different kinds of networks and managing the created connections. It is similar to other applications such as NetworkManager and Wicd, and can be used as a replacement of these applications. It is written in Python and shell scripts, and is probably compatible with all modern Linux distributions.

This is the first release of Igelle Connector, and as such is still incomplete in features here and there; user friendliness is still to be improved; and there are surely bugs present. Current featureset includes:

• Command line interface
• GTK+ -based graphical user interface
• Wired ethernet connections
• Wireless LAN
• Fixed and automatic IP address (DHCP) support
• GSM/3G Wireless data connections
• Bluetooth wireless modem support

Installation packages are provided in DEB and tar.bz2 form, and are available under the download section of the project site. Screenshots are also available. The software can be installed alongside an existing network manager (such as NetworkManager or wicd) without any problems, but will probably collide with other network managers in runtime if configuring the same interfaces. Regardless, installing and testing IC does not necessarily require uninstallation of any existing network managers.

All feedback and testing are most welcome.
