cinternet - simple frontend for smpppd
DESCRIPTION
cinternet is a simple frontend for the smpppd.
OPTIONS
These options are recognized by cinternet. If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory
for the equivalent short option also.
The order of the options is relevant except for the --verbose, --only-local, --version and --help options.
-I, --interface-list
List all configured interfaces of the smpppd. The interfaces are also marked either with `u' or `d' for
their status of up or down respectively. The interface names are utf-8 encoded.
-i, --interface-name=NAME
Specify a interface. A interface must be specified for most of the options below. This option must be
given before any option that requires an interface. The name must exactly match one of the interface
list.
--interface-number=NUM
Specify a interface. A interface must be specified for most of the options below. This option must be
given before any option that requires an interface. The numbers start at one.
-P, --provider-list
List all configured providers for the specified interface. The currently active provider is prefixed by a
`a', all others by a `i'. The provider names are utf-8 encoded.
-p, --provider-name=NAME
Select the active provider for the specified interface by name. The name must exactly match one of the
provider list. Only works when the interface is down.
--provider-number=NUM
Select the active provider for the specified interface by number. The numbers start at one. Only works
when the interface is down.
-A, --start
Start the specified interface.
-D, --dialin
Trigger dialin for the specified interface. The interface must be in dial on demand mode and already
started. Not implemented for all connection types.
-H, --hangup
Trigger hangup for the specified interface. The interface must be in dial on demand mode. Not imple-
mented for all connection types.
-O, --stop
Stop the specified interface.
--add-link
Add a link to a multi-link connection.
--remove-link
Remove a link from a multi-link connection.
-s, --status
Display the status of the specified interface.
-c, --config
Display the configuration of the specified interface.
-l, --log
Displays the log of the specified interface.
-d, --debug={on,off}
Turn debugging mode of the smpppd on or off. This does not affect connections already up.
-L, --main-config
List the main config of the smpppd.
-L, --main-log
List the main log, the log containing general informations not specific to an interface, of the smpppd.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose.
-o, --only-local
Only connect to local smpppd.
--script[=STYLE]
Format output for script. Known styles are c and sh.
--version
Show program version and exit.
--help Show help information and exit.
WIRELESS LAN OPTIONS
The following commands are only valid if the specified interface is a wireless LAN device.
--set-essid=ESSID
Set ESSID (network name).
--set-bitrate=BITRATE
Set a specific bitrate (in Mbps units). Use auto or 0 to switch to automatic mode.
--set-wep=KEY
Enables WEP encryption for the specified interface. KEY can have different formats, see --keytype for
more information.
--scan Prints scan results, i.e. access points known to the driver. Note that this does not trigger an active
scan.
--rescan
Triggers an active scan and prints the scan results. Note that this can interrupt exiting connections for
a while.
--keytype={hex,ascii,hash[40,104]}
Sets key type for --set-wep command. hex means the key is given has hex digits. You need to enter exactly
the amount of digits needed for the key (e.g. 10 hex digits for 40 bit key, 26 hex digits for 104 bit key,
etc). ascii means that the ASCII values of the specified string from the key. You need to enter 5 charac-
ters for 40 bit keys, 13 for 104 bit keys, etc. And finally hash means the specified key is used as a
passphrase to generate a hash from it, which will be the actual WEP key. Append 40 to hash if you want a
40 bit key generated, and 104 if you want 104 bit (aka 64 and 128 bit, depends on whether you count the
initialization vector or not). If the appendix is omitted, 104 bit gets assumed.
--authmode={open,shared}
This option has to be used together with the --set-wep command. It specifies the authentication mode to be
used. open means no explicit authentication (this does not neccessarily mean no encryption). shared
means shared key authentication. This authentication mode makes your WEP key more attackable, so do not
use it if you don't have to.
--connection-status
Prints some information about your wireless LAN connection status.
FILES
/etc/smpppd-c.conf
