USERNET (1)

graphical utility for manipulating network interfaces

SYNOPSIS

    usernet

DESCRIPTION

    usernetctl gives the user two buttons for each network interface he or she is allowed to control: a button to toggle interface status (bring the network up or down), and a button which shows the current network status, and updates when pressed (as well as automatically). Normal users are allowed to control only user-controllable interfaces, as reported by the usernetctl(1) program; the superuser is allowed to control all devices. Interfaces with multiple configurations (``Clone'' configurations created with the netctl utility) present a menu for bringing the device up. The menu presents all the configurations that the user is allowed to control. However, for brining the interface down, the configurations are meaningless, so it does not present the menu in that case.
