A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Enrico Zini <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: guessnet
System name: guessnet
Type: non-GNU
Description:
guessnet is a tool that guesses what network is connected to an ethernet device.
guessnet takes a list of candidate profiles on input, each with one or more
ways to scan for them, and runs each scan in parallel; the first scan that
succeeds causes the corresponding name to be printed in standard output and
the program to exit immediately.
Available scan methods are ARP probing for interface with a given macaddress
and executing external scripts. guessnet\'s internal design easily allows the
implementation of new scan methods in the future.
guessnet can be used standalone or run in an \"ifupdown mode\" designed to
seamlessly integrate with ifupdown. In ifupdown mode, guessnet can be used as
in a \"script\" directive, reads candidate profiles directly from
/etc/network/interfaces and in fact enhances an existing ifupdown configuration
with smart network detection.
This tool is already a part of Debian, and you can find it at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/guessnet.html
In need of a place to use for cooperative development of guessnet, Savannah
seemed to be the right choice.
Other Software Required:
Guessnet depends on libnet and libpcap
