# laptop-netconf(8)

network detection and configuration program

## NAME

laptop-netconf - network detection and configuration program

## SYNOPSIS

**laptop-netconf**

## DESCRIPTION

laptop-netconf reads the list of hosts to probe from its configuration file, /etc/laptop-netconf/opts.  Multiple arp requests are sent out onto the local network.  if any replies matching those in the configuration are received, a configuration script (also in /etc/laptop-netconf/) is run.  If no known networks are detected, a default configuration script is run.

laptop-netconf will not run at all unless the line "ACTIVE=yes" appears within */etc/default/laptop-netconf*

## NOTE

laptop-netconf is still under development.  If you have any ideas for features that wish added, please contact the author, Matt Kern \<matt@debian.org\>.  This program was originally inspired by divine. divine was written by Felix von Leitner \<felix@fefe.de\>.
