<!-- Written AM desmottes (lebarhon) 2012-08-31
Write some text means i can't do it :(
What must we say about networks out of wired (Ethernet) and wireless (WI fi) like GPRS, bluetooth ? I can't write anything.

<para>This tool<footnote>
<para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis
role="bold">draknetcenter</emphasis> as root.</para>
</footnote> is found under the Network
& Internet tab in the Mageia Control Center labelled "Network Center"</para>
<para/>
<section>
<title>Predstavitev</title>
<para>When this tool is launched, a window opens listing all the networks
configured on the computer, whatever their type (wired, wireless, satellite,
etc.). When clicking on one of them, three or four buttons appear, depending
on the network type, to allow you to look after the network, change its
settings or connect/disconnect. This tool isn't intended to create a
network, for this see <guilabel>Set up a new network interface (LAN, ISDN,
ADSL, ...)</guilabel> in the same MCC tab.</para>
<para>In the screenshot below, given as example, we can see two networks, the
first one is wired and connected, recognizable by this icon <inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="../draknetcenterEthernet-on.png"/>
</imageobject>
</inlinemediaobject> (this one is not connected<inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="../draknetcenterEthernet-off.png"/>
</imageobject>
</inlinemediaobject> ) and the second section shows wireless
networks, not connected recognizable by this icon <inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="../draknetcenterWireless-off.png"/>
</imageobject>
</inlinemediaobject> and this one <inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="../draknetcenterWireless-on.png"/>
</imageobject>
</inlinemediaobject>if connected. For the other network types,
the colour code is always the same, green if connected and red if not
connected.</para>
<para>In the wireless part of the screen, you can also see all the detected
networks, with the <guilabel>SSID</guilabel>, the <guilabel>Signal
strengh</guilabel>, if they are encrypted (in red) or not (in green), and
the <guilabel>Operating mode</guilabel>. Click on the chosen one and then
either on <guibutton>Monitor</guibutton>, <guibutton>Configure</guibutton>
or <guibutton>Connect</guibutton>. It is possible here to go from a network
to another one. If a private network is selected, the Network Settings
window (see below) will open and ask you for extra settings ( an encryption
key in particular).</para>

<para>This button allows you to watch the network activity, downloads (toward the
PC, in red) and uploads (toward the Internet, in green). The same screen is
available by right clicking on the <guimenu>Internet icon in the system tray
-> Monitor Network</guimenu>.</para>
<para>There is a tab for each network (here eth0 is the wired network, lo the
local loopback and wlan0 the wireless network) and a tab connection which
gives details about connection status.</para>
<note>
<para>At the bottom of the window is a title <guilabel>Traffic
accounting</guilabel>, we will look at that in the next section.</para>

<para>It is possible to change all the settings given during network
creation. Most of the time, checking <guibutton>Automatic IP</guibutton>
<guibutton>(BOOTP/DHCP)</guibutton> will do, but in case of problems, manual
configuration may give better results.</para>
<para>For a residential network, the <guilabel>IP address</guilabel> always looks
like 192.168.0.x, <guilabel>Netmask</guilabel> is 255.255.255.0, and the
<guilabel>Gateway</guilabel> and <guilabel>DNS servers</guilabel> are
available from your providers website.</para>
<para><guibutton>Enable traffic accounting</guibutton> if checked this will count
the traffic on a hourly, daily or monthly basis. The results are visible in
the Network monitor detailed in the previous section. Once enabled, you may
have to reconnect to the network.</para>
