I recently solved some pointer issues in the backend and pushed the
changes to gitlab.
You can build the backend simply running the build script:

$ ./build

If you want to build also the frontend (a work in progress), you need to
pass the folder src as an argument in the command line:

$ ./build src

and the script will run internaly cmake -DGUI_DIR="src".

After building the backend you will get three binary files: the client,
the server and backend. The backend will have suid permissions (as i
said above, cmake will ask you for root's password).
Run the client relegated to a second plane:

$ ./client &

The client will be waiting for the server (see the lines nº 299 - 303 in
backend-src/netstat.c).

Now, run the server:

$ ./server

after that you'll get the info about your network connection in the
command line. You should get something like this:


Connected to wlan2
-------------------------
IP Address = 192.168.0.11
Type = Wireless
Broadcast = 192.168.0.255
Netmask = 255.255.255.0
Protocol = IEEE 802.11bgn
Essid = Euskaltel-58YA
-------------------------
Status = CONNECTED
The wire is unplugged


The *plug* kernel event takes a few seconds in my computer.

I need testers... Thanks in advance :)
