Improved Connection List

I have created an improved connection list display for Gargoyle. The new display has the following improvements over the stock one.

1) Entries are sorted by data used which leads to a more stable display.
2) Qos Marks for each connection are shown which helps in making sure your QoS classifications are being properly applied.
3) L7Marking is shown

If you would like to try this improvement just download the attached .7z archive and copy the contained three files into the corresponding locations on your router. The reboot your router after upgrading as I have found that its the fastest way to clear all caches so that the changes are effective.

Let me know if you have any issues and enjoy.

This looks great!

I need to do a little more testing, but I can pretty much guarantee this patch will get included in the next version.

I know we had a bit of a disagreement over the way QoS should be setup, but I really, really like this improvement.

One minor point: in the future can you submit files as a zip file, tar.gz file or (best) a patch that can be applied to the source tree using the patch utility (e.g. patch -p0 < your_patch_file.patch). 7zip isn't really a standard format. Not a big deal since I don't specify this anywhere in the wiki (which I really should), but please note this for future reference.

Also how should I credit you for the patch? Should I just reference pbix in the about page or should I include your real name? Also, do you have a website you would like me to link to in the credits?

Eric,
Let me know if anything breaks during your testing. I wanted to resolve the IP addresses into names using DNS but I could not find a way to do this in Javascript. If you know how give me a clue.

Maybe I will write a 'C' program to do it on the router in the future.

You can credit Paul Bixel but there is no Website to reference.

Now included in latest release (with a couple modifcations so QoS is not displayed if QoS is not active), version 1.1.4.

You're now credited in the about section of this website and in the latest firmware.
