Hardware and Software Compatibility
Currently, we only support Linux-based operating systems. That's because network-reconnect makes heavy use of GNU utilities only available for Linux. The dependencies are:
- iproute
- coreutils
- lspci
- grep
- ping
- iw
All of the distributions we support have these packages in the default repositories, and our installer will automatically detect and install them. While only Ubuntu and Fedora are supported at this time, we will add several more by our v0.2.1 release.
Theoretically, network-reconnect could run on a Mac if the required dependencies are installed using ported equivalents. We don't really recommend doing this; we'd rather you put a little effort into making an official port by contributing to our project.
Similarly, it is possible to run network-reconnect in a Cygwin environment after installing the dependencies from source. Again, though, we don't recommend this.
To run network-reconnect, you need to have some sort of network interface available on your computer. For wired connections, you need an Ethernet controller; for wireless connections, you need a WiFi adapter. Chances are, though, if you're reading this, you have one of these already.

Network Reconnect
Network Reconnect is a utility designed to make managing wired and wireless network connections easy. It is a set of scripts for Linux operating systems that uses certain built-in technologies to provide basic network connections, eliminating overhead present in other utilities and adding beneficial extra features.
You can find more information about how to install and use on our homepage.
