+KNemo - the KDE Network Monitor
+ 
+KNemo offers a network monitor similar to the one found in Windows.
+For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray. 
+ 
+IMPORTANT: KNemo has to be started using KDE Control Center/Internet & Network/
+Network Monitor. Please do no longer use the KDE Service Manager to start and
+stop KNemo. This change was necessary to keep KNemo from starting automatically 
+for every user in a multiuser environment.
+
+Features of version 0.4.5 include:
+ * support for ethernet (including wireless) and ppp connections
+ * the icon shows incoming/outgoing traffic
+ * hiding of icon when the interface is not available
+ * hiding of icon when the interface does not exist (useful for interfaces that 
+   are dynamically created and and removed)
+ * automatic detection of wireless extensions for ethernet interfaces
+ * left-clicking on an icon displays a status dialog with information about the
+   selected interface (2nd click hides dialog)
+ * middle-clicking on an icon displays a traffic plotter that was taken from 
+   KSysGuard (2nd click hides dialog)
+ * configuration via context menu or control center module (Internet & Network/
+   Network Monitor)
+ * customizable tooltip for quick access to often needed information
+ * custom entries in the context menu. Useful to start/stop/restart interfaces 
+   or to configure them using external tools.
+ * automatic detection of available interfaces (click on 'Default' in the 
+   configuration dialog and KNemo will look under /proc/net/dev for interfaces)
+ * support for notifications via sound and passive popups
+ * KNemo counts the number of transfered bytes and does not depend on the output
+   of 'ifconfig' for the total number of transfered bytes. This way  KNemo can 
+   even display a hugh amount of traffic while 'ifconfig' has an overflow at 4GB.
+ * support for different iconsets for every interface
+ * support for daily, monthly and yearly statistics
+ * configurable update interval for interface informations
+ * support for different backends to gather information
