Description:
The mibedit package is a GTK/Gnome application which provides a GUI 
interface to the linux-wlan program.

For a list of elements that are still undone, see the TODO file in 
this directory.

License:
See the COPYING and LICENSE files.

Top level directory for mibedit:
./doc		- source distribution documentation
./man		- man pages
./etc		- scripts used at run-time
./src		- source code for various components

Note:
Some of the subdirectories have empty README files.  This means we haven't 
gotten to the contents of these directories.  The empty README is just a trick
to prevent CVS from pruning the directory.

This software requires installation of version 0.1.9 or later of the 
linux-wlan-ng package to run properly.  

Theory of operation:
All known MIB's are enumerated and a tree view is built from the enumeration.
This tree view displays the MIB name and access method.  MIB's which are 
detected to be "not_supported" appear in a different color.  Selecting a leaf 
node causes the MIB name and datatype to be displayed and the associated MIB 
to be read.  A MIB can also be re-read by pressing the READ button or written 
by entering a value in the "new value" field and pressing the WRITE button.  
Output from the execution of the command gets concatenated to a list view at 
the bottom of the screen.  Result codes from the execution of the commands 
are processed and displayed.

Build Instructions:

1)  Make sure you have installed the linux-wlan-ng package (run 
    "wlanctl-ng version" to verify).

2)  Verify that "mibedit" sub-directory exists below the "add-ons" sub-directory
    of the linux-wlan-ng package.

3)  Change directory into the "mibedit" directory and run "./autogen.sh"

4)  To build the package, run 'make all'

5)  As root, install the package by running 'make install'.
