Very nice app. I appreciate it as I can one click now to activate a connection, instead of going through the status menu. One thing I think would be great to add, and of minimal effort, would be to add a disconnect functionality. This way you could close a connection simply by clicking on the app again.

Simple, useful and does exactly what it should. Thanks a lot!
Great! Helps to show if I have a connection when using public wlan.
Critical widget for me.
Simple, functional, does all it needs to.
External IP will never be available from an applet without an external server and is of questionable value as you can't ask your telco to port-forward for your phone...
I've had an applet like this on my tablets ever since the 770, I'd feel naked without it :-)
This one doesn't keep count of up/down traffic like the older ones did, but you can use another applet for that.
On the plus side, it also acts as a shortcut for Wifi/3G connection, which is sometimes handy.
Great to see the network I'm on (grps vs wifi), and the IP address I was given by the local router. Simple small widget that does one thing very well.
Mhh, does not work for me.
The applet shows the IP address reported by ifconfig I guess. I get a IP from my provider (O2) which belongs to a private subnet (10.x.x.x) and will effectively not be routed. Checking my external IP on my webpage (http://ip.olausson.de) I get valid routeable IP (82.113.xxx.xxx).
Anyway, I can't connect via SSH, but that is another story.
So my suggestion would be: Report the INTERNAL IP and the real EXTERNAL IP by a lookup on a external source)
This is also helpful when you are connected to a router and need to know your real IP.
If you consider this, please make an option to display, either the external IP, the internal IP or both. Also you might consider to show VPN (OpenVPN) IPs (Thats currently my way to ssh to the N900).

Perfect for those how want to occasionally login with ssh.
very usefull, so i can directly see my ip address and can ssh to it :)
Nice geeky applet. Sometimes useful, but mostly it's just for fun.
simple and convenient... not to belittle ifconfig in any way.
