Hi all, Although at the moment I am occupied with other commitments, I would to discuss how support for uncommon systems with more than one wifi adaptor and/or with more than one wired network adaptor.
The main drawback supporting such systems is that the GUI has to account for them and this makes it more complicated for the end user who almost seldom will be faced by the situation of having to deal with more than one wifi card and/or more than one wired connector on the same system. I am assuming these type of unfortunate users should already be comfortable tweaking there system, so I am suggesting that the backend would be made behave differently in extraordinary situations like these. Instead of defaulting on wlan0 and eth0, power users would opt to use wlan1 or eth1. For this, a simple text configuration file mapping wlanX to wlan1 and ethX to eth1 should provide a simple and yet neat solution without editing too much of the already working code. This is my first concept of how support for uncommon systems can be added without too much disruption of the already working code.
