I bought the Pockethernet hardware back when it was still on indiegogo, for people who never dealt with ethernet testers: It's a device that you use to test network cables, in the pockethernet case the tester is a bluetooth device you're supposed to use with an Android phone.
The phone requirement annoyed me for a long time and would like my test results directly on my laptop. I finally took the time to write a nice GTK3 application for it that can now do some of the basic features. I haven't managed to make some of the more advanced features work like the cable length tests and more advanced link tests like DHCP and the various port-id protocols.
It's written in python and split in two parts, that actually handles the communication with the hardware. This makes sure that it can support other testing hardware and probably a QT5 frontend.
I hope that I can make some other network administrators very happy with this application :D
