Graphical interface for netctl. Now it may work with profiles and may create new profiles. Also it may create a connection to WiFi. Moreover, it provides a widget and DataEngine for KDE.

Configuration

It is recommended to use graphical interface for widget configuration. DataEngine settings are stored in /usr/share/config/netctl.conf:

CMD - netctl command. Default value is /usr/bin/netctl.
IPCMD - ip command. /usr/bin/ip by default.
NETDIR - a directory, which contains subdirectories with names of network interfaces. Default is /sys/class/net/.
EXTIPCMD - a command, which returns external IP address. Default value is wget -qO- http://ifconfig.me/ip.
EXTIP - true will enable external IP definition. Default is false.

All settings of GUI are stored in $HOME/.config/netctl-gui.conf. It is highly recommended to edit it from graphical interface.
