[kde-doc-english] Userguide again :)

[J Hall]

Hi there - I just noticed going through the KDE Control Center that there is 
no documentation on the kwifimanager kcontrol module. Is anyone working on 
this? If not I'd be interested at taking a look at it since I rather need to 
figure out how it works and what it does for a project I'm doing for work. 
(Adding more machines to an already cramped internet cafe by adding 
notebook's with wireless running linux). 

Here is also some more stuff for the user guide.. I really hope this is 
helpful, all comments and criticism very welcome.

==================
Internet & Network
==================

This section is where you would configure settings to do with internet and 
networking under KDE. 


Desktop Sharing:

Desktop Sharing allows you to invite someone to share your session with you, 
or can enable you to log in remotely to your machine from another location. 
You would then use a VNC client like KDE's Remote Desktop Connection 
application to control your desktop over the network. This is extremely 
useful if you want someone to help you perform a task. 

Here you can create and manage invitations as well as set your security policy 
for uninvited connections. You can also configure whether to show a 
background image and which port for the service to 'listen' on.


File Sharing:

File sharing allows you to configure Samba (Microsoft Windows) and NFS (Unix) 
file sharing. To make changes in this module you need to have the root or 
administrator password. This is where you would set up whether users are 
allowed to share files without knowing the root password, and which users are 
allowed to do so. You can also configure which folders you're like to be 
shared, using which type of sharing and who is allowed to view these shares.


Local Network Browsing:

Here you can configure options related to browsing network shares in 
Konqueror. Konqueror is able to browse a variety of network shares and 
manipulate remote files as though they were on your local machine. You can 
configure it to remember your preferred username and password for connecting 
to Windows shares (Samba). You can also set what types of network shares you 
would like to be able to browse, including FTP, NFS and SMB. 


Local Network Chat:

This module allows you to configure options relating to the Unix 'talk' 
daemon. It is a very simple network chat program that runs in a terminal, 
designed for chatting over a local area network. Some of it's features are 
being able to set up an 'answering machine' that will email to you messages 
left for you, and being able to forward messages to another location.


Preferences:

Here you can set advanced networking options such as timeout values for server 
connects. Usually you would leave these options at the defaults unless you 
really knew what you were doing.

Proxy:

This is where you would configure KDE to connect to a proxy server rather than 
directly to the internet. Once again you would generally leave these options 
at their defaults unless you really knew what you were doing. If you do use a 
proxy server your network administrator will be able to tell you what details 
to fill in here.

Samba Configuration:

The Samba Configuration module requires the root or administrator password. It 
is an advanced configuration tool that allows you to control Samba's 
security, shares, users and printers in an intuitive graphical interface. 
This is a very powerful tool with support for configuring everything from 
simple file and printer sharing, to using your Samba server as a Windows NT 
Domain Controller.


Webbrowser:

This module is where you would configure options relating to Konqueror as a 
web-browser. The usual options you would expect from a webbrowser, such as 
cookie configuration, cache and history can be found here as well as sections 
to modify keyboard shortcuts, plugins and fonts. 


Wireless Network:

Here you can set up different profiles for your Wireless card, to be able to 
quickly switch settings if you connect to multiple networks. You can select a 
profile to be loaded on KDE startup.
