Everest Linux Links Manager (evlinks) is a network manager and config toolkit tool designed to make the management of links easy and diverse.
One of the standout features of evlinks is its design, which primarily uses the MAC address as configuration file names to avoid interface name changes. Additionally, it supports multi-profile management, which allows users to create different settings for their work and home networks.
Another great feature of evlinks is that it never displays technical jargon such as "eth0/wlan0/ath0" to users, as it can be confusing for non-technical users. The software is also loosely coupled, which means that if any component fails, others will continue to work seamlessly.
Evlinks also supports policy management, which allows users to set preferences for wired and wireless connections, offline and online connections, and more.
The software components of evlinks include evlinkslo/evlinksboot for boot-time interface configuration, evlinksiw for wireless configuration, evlinkswireless for handling multiple wireless adapters, evlinksw for wired configuration, evlinkswired for handling multiple wired adapters, evlinksmonitor for monitoring adapter changes, evlinkstraffic for network traffic monitoring, evlinkspppoe for PPPoE client management, and evlinksdispatcher and evlinksrun for easy user access.
Evlinks requires Qt 4.x for proper functionality. The latest release of the software includes the removal of more dirty code, as well as the separation of common functions to libevlinks, resulting in an even cleaner and more streamlined experience. Overall, Easy Various Links Manager, or evlinks, is a great option for network administrators and regular users alike.
