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'.
