net(.*) updates
As Mandriva 2010 final release data approaches, the final retouches are being worked out on some of the tools I am taking care of.
Net_monitor has evolved a lot since its first/new release. The interface was compacted, more features added and overall look-and-feel improved considerable.

netprofile also received a few updates – most notable, the support for save, load and reset action, and a simple yet functional plymouth integration during boot:

I don’t know how useful this integration is however (at least, for me). Most of the time my computer is either in suspend or hibernating mode, so I would see this screen about once a month 
.
Nice is the plymouth integration. I share your final comment, though. :]
Hi! Can you enlighten us, poor translators on cooker-i18n, how to localize Plymouth? Thanks a bunch!
I actually have no idea
. Plymouth is fcrozat’s baby, I haven’t touched it at all. The netprofile part only calls things like ‘plymouth message –text=”something”‘ and so.
But by looking at initscripts source, the plymouth-related strings should be available to translators in the same manner as other initscripts strings. I’ll check if anything went wrong with initscripts po updates lately.
Hi, thanks for your nice work done inside Mandriva. I’m using that distro and net apps are better and better with every update. Keep yourself on good way. Regards from CZ.
Thanks, I am really happy to hear that!
