wish - newer connection manager type applet...
FWIW - now that I have my OS2008 N800 runnig on WLAN and thru my Cingular cell system, a really nice applet would be something like ipconfig, which I cannot get to run on my 2008 OS.
I imagine an "overlay" icon screen that shows my connection type, plus status, byte info and IP....(wish I knew how to program.) The reason I would like an app like this is because I want to be sure I am NOT on my $$ cellular data link if its not necessary (as opposed to my WLAN), and an in-your-face info screen would be nice.Thanks |

Have you tried 'wifiInfo'?

thanks for Wifiinfo, its Ok, but it shows less info than Connection Manager, and is not an "overlay/applet" either.

If you want an applet with ip you can look at the one i ve make, which i still try to make it transparent. :

Re: wish - newer connection manager type applet...
tried to load the app...got a log file - FAILED Package must have "Section:user/FOO" to be considered compatible error when trying to install python-hildondesktop and python2.5.
Ideas? Thanks. |
Re: wish - newer connection manager type applet...
install it with dpkg -i.

Re: wish - newer connection manager type applet...
This has existed for a long time - it's a home applet called IPHome.
It's been available ever since OS2005 up to OS2007, for the 770 and the N800. I always found it very useful, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available for OS2008 yet... |

If you're connected connected through your cell phone, the connected icon is different than the Wifi one on the status bar ...

Do I store the python file in the apps folder? What is the entire dpkg -i command? Thanks |
