I uploaded the new packeges after fixing most of the bugs:

http://gnuinos.org/simple-netaid/

I also added the .desktop menu entry.

Is there some README about simple-netaid?


The only existent README file for now was written by Edward Bartolo, and it-s focused to the previous version of simple-netaid, written in C and freepascal. So, it's a bit obsolete. However, the new version of simple-netaid also uses ifupdown, but there is no CLI version for now (this is a work in progress).

What is it? Is it a replacement for wicd?


Indeed, it's an alternative for wicd without dbus, written in C/C++ and Gtkmm-2.4.

Can they live together, or must wicd removed? What's the difference between the two?


I've been testing both working together, and i've found the following issue: the behaviour of wicd can be affected by the use of simple-netaid. Not only because of possible failed attempts connecting or disconnecting with wicd, but also for possible wrong information about the status of the network connection. In contrast, i didn' find this behaviour in the other way around; that is, simple-netaid is not affected by the use of wicd. So, it would be interenting to use both together in order to compare them.

BTW, i fixed another bug in the wired connections, and built the packges for both architectures: i 386 and amd64. The packages are operative now, but there are still some issues pending to be fixed: a segmentation fault closing the application, the code for the hidden active wifis, a socket sharing information between the window_main_worker thread and the backend, and a lot of warnings during the compilation.

Thanks for your interest on simple-netaid :)

Aitor.
