Description:
 This application is a sniffing application for
KDE. It needs a lot of feature I'm working on it,
but it's not yet complete but you can use it. It
produces files compatible with Ethereal,
WireShark, tcpdump. The last code release is into
SVN KDE in trunk/playground/network . 

Help is always welcome, also like tester. If you
want to make KSniffer useful you're welcome. A
list of things to do is in TODO file.

The version 0.3 alpha1 is a quite stable version
and probably will be released as 0.3 final without
changes if no bugs will be found. This version is
without translations, but the 0.3 final will be
with all available translations. Feedbacks on
features and bugs are welcome. This version was
released with all available translations.
