Compiling: =========== * Just run gnu make Installing: =========== Running '(g)make install' will place the plugin under /usr/lib/gkrellm/plugins. You can also manually place the resulting wireless.so under ~/.gkrellm/plugins. Troubleshooting: ================ If you have trouble compiling the plugin. Make sure you have gtk 1.2 and gkrellm >= 1.0.8 and you've installed the gkrellm header files in /usr/include/gkrellm or /usr/local/include/gkrellm.. If you have placed the header files in some other dir, change the GKRELMM_INCLUDE varialbe in the Makefile. Under Linux: To detect the wireless lan cards, the plugin needs a kernel with wireless extensions support. Under FreeBSD: To compile you need both the if_wavelan_ieee.h and if_aironet_ieee.h. on my freebsd 4.3 system the if_wavealan_ieee.h is included in the standard header files, but the if_aironet_ieee.h file is only in the system source tree. So You'll probably need to install those sources. Also as stated in the changelog the wi interface is untested, so if it doesn't work and you don't mind some debugging, please contact me Under NetBSD: Don't have a netbsd box, so mail me if you have some extra notes about this Theming: ======= This plugin supports the gkrellm plugin theming options... The keyword for the plugin is "wireless". so you can add wireless.textcolor = blue white shadow in your themes gkrellmrc for example
