<h2><a href="#info" class="anchor" id="info"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Information</h2>
<p>Graphical interface for <code>netctl</code> (several scripts for work with network connection in Archlinux). It is written on <code>CPP</code> using <code>Qt4</code> library. Now it may work with profiles and may create new profiles. Also it may create a connection to WiFi. Moreover, it provides a Qt library for interaction with netctl and widget and DataEngine for KDE.</p>
