netctl-auto-gnome

This is a Gnome 3 shell extension for netctl-auto, the network profile manager for Arch Linux.

This extension was originally the work of Tjaart van der Walt (tjaartvdwalt, netctl-gnome-shell-extension). He has transferred this work to me in order to bring it up to current Gnome shell standards and provide netctl-auto support; I thank him for his past pains.
