New version is out, pets included. See main post

New features as described in the past couple of posts are added (not multiple interfaces - too much trouble). I didn't go with dhcpcd directly however, the patch is updated and that does deal with dhcpcd directly.

@mikeb

Here is one line for your slax installs, and may even install with installpkg, even though it doesn't produce a legit slackware package -

Code:
sh patch_me.sh yes please && make && sh package non-pup


See the 'package' script for more details.

See the extras dir for hints on getting the tx and rx stats saving at shutdown. That is basically what is in puppy's rc.shutdown script and has been for several years (circa 2010).

Well much appreciated...

its not just a slax thing as me pups and related stuff tend to have less puppyisms to make them more generic anyway.

Plus puppyisms vary somewhat as you well know so I aim for the 'work for anything' approach when possible.

Well will be testing out if I can drag myself away from this rather nice escape we are at up a river where the world cannot find us though the mosquitoes seem to find us regardless... Smile

Sure. I don't like puppyisms myself, especially hard coding to /root Twisted Evil

BTW, I think I forgot to switch dhcpcd -k (from --release). You should be able to edit the patch ok - but no guarantees.

Thanks for your testing and suggestions - been a valuable contrib. Smile

Good. I'll probably edit the source at some point and bring out a more or less 'final' version, pending any bug reports. I'm pretty happy with it. Been running on my lappy ever since the last mention and ram/cpu is consistent so no evidence of any leakage.

Kicks butt, Mick! Noobish me fussing around lately, I've discovered the default network_tray in many/most (all?) Pups is one of the - if not *THE* - primary cause of Puppy's tendency towards somewhat high idle CPU use. That's always kinda' bugged me.

Quick test of your netmon_wce on this old Pentium D Optiplex GX620 running Tahrpup 6.0.2 clearly shows idle CPU use dropping from %4-6 to %1-2... flippin' great!! Finally, that issue seems fixed (here, at least). Polling enabled, too. Love the signal strength meter also.

Fantastic update! Cool

Bob

Good to hear Bob Smile

Now if we can snag a few more reports I'll ensure it becomes the default in future woof-CE based puppies.

The old behaviour of Barry's network monitor is to also show network input and output.
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but should there also be:
internet_connect_input.svg and internet_connect_output.svg in addition to internet_connect_both.svg?

TBH, I didn't want the icon to be too "loud" so that's why it's a bit toned down. BK's original had 5 icons, this one has 4.

Well that was a weird forum glitch. Definitely only clicked 'submit' once. Ignore this post.

Works great in both X-slacko and X-tahr. Dropped CPU usage at idle by 2%, thanks for this.

01micko; OK continuing on from the other thread .here
Quote:
I find that your finding is very strange. The design is that as soon as your connection drops the IP address the disconnected icon should appear. This has been tested several times.


What happens in precise 5.7.1 is that If I connect to my modem by WiFi and then I go and turn the Modem off netmon_wce shows that the connection is still good and in my case with full bars.

Perhaps its different with eth0 or others but that is the result I get with wlan0 using a Realtech adaptor running module 8192cu which is the proprietary driver compiled for kernel 3.9.

When the modem is switched off the computer does not drop the connection and probing shows an IP and a RF connection so maybe its to do with the adaptor and driver?

Give me a little time on this and I will go back over things to be sure I have it right.

No worries rg66

Thanks april for the report. I don't have that adapter but I do have a few. I won't go to the length of installing precise just yet but if a reasonable outcome isn't achieved I will do that if nothing else works.

What connection manager are you using? (SNS, Frisbee, or other)
