I am not strongly against doing something like this, however the description in the main.conf is bad. That needs at least work. And the one important question is that if this means READY connections or ONLINE connections. For example if you have a working ONLINE connection in single mode and you already switch at READY, then you might end up with no Internet connectivity at all. Has this been really thought through? Or are we hacking around for a customer here? Regards Marcel _______________________________________________ connman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
