Description:
 Easy various links manager or Everest Linux Links
Manager
evlinks is network manager and config toolkit aims
to replace network service and networkmanager.

(I never get a successful connection via
networkmanager, and it did not support static IP
for wired and wireless, did not support to make
wireless works as ad-hoc mode, did not support
profile configuration.)

the design of evlinks:
1, use mac address as config file names.

2, multi profile support, for example, you can
have a setting for Office and another setting for
home.

3, never display info such as "eth0/wlan0/ath0" to
users. what is the meaning of this strange words
for normal user?

4, coupled loosely, if any component of evlinks
crash or can not work, others works very well.

5，policy support:
for example, whether start wired at booting
time,whether start wireless at booting
time,offline or online, if wired line unpluged,
shall we switch to wireless?

the components of evlinks:
1,evlinkslo/evlinksboot:
run at system booting.
enable loopback and other interfaces according to
config file.

2,evlinksiw, wireless config tool

3,evlinkswireless, a wrapper for evlinksiw to
handle multiple wireless adapters. if you only
have one wireless adapter, it will start evlinksiw
directly.

4,evlinksw, wired config tool, support multiple
profiles.

5,evlinkswired, same as evlinkswireless, a wrapper
for evlinksw to handle multiple wired adapter.

6,evlinksmonitor, a hal client to monitor the
adapter changes. since it use hal, then we can
catch the signal as new adapter plugged.

7, evlinkstraffic, network traffic monitor. used
in evlinksmonitor and evlinkspppoe.

8, evlinkspppoe, PPPoE clients, used to connect
ADSL(no PPPoA support)

9, evlinksdispatcher and evlinksrun.
dirty code to help normal user run it easily.that
is to say, normal user use evlinksrun to call
evlinks utils, they all run as super user. it is
not a good design, also had security problem, need
change later.



TODO:
1,wpa support.
2,the code is too dirty, it is only a prototype,
need more work and re-construct.
3,evlinksdispatcher rework.
4,evlinksproxy, a simple util to share internet
between two machine(NAT) via wireless or wired.
