<h1> bcnm </h1>
<h2> What is it ? </h2>
<p>
bcnm is a client network manager: it automatically handles network
connections for a client machine. It supports Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
IP addresses can be attributed statically or via DHCP.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
This is very much a work in progress. Do not expect full functionality
in the short or even middle term.
