netGo is a distribution-independent networking tool (written in Qt) for changing network settings quickly and easily. It is intended for laptop owners, who often need to change network settings when relocating.

It allows you to create profiles that contain the network settings such as the IP, netmask, gateway, name servers and wireless options. After creating a profile it can be executed with a single click.

netGo is distributed under the terms of the GPL-license.

Here are some key features of "netGo":
Configure an interface with static IP, netmask, gateway and nameservers.
Configure an interface using DHCP.
Configure an interface using wireless options.
Execute a profile from the commandline - without GUI.
System tray support (works in KDE, Gnome, xfce etc).


Requirements:
Qt 3.2.x or better.
net-tools (ifconfig, route etc).
dhcpcd or dhclient (needed for dhcp usage).
wireless-tools (needed for wireless settings).


What's New in This Release:
Feature added for executing a custom script.
Support for both ascii- and hex-keys (wireless).
The wireless settings are now executed before the other settings.
Added '--hide' parameter that only shows the trayicon at startup.
Some minor bugs fixed...
