Hi all, As I am approaching the final stages of Pre-Alpha development, I would like to ask how netman should behave when 'automatic connections' are enabled.
Needless to state the obvious, here, we are not doing Microsoft, but rather, we want to keep netman as simple as it can be. Yes, there are opinions contrary to what I am doing, but the world is such, that we cannot please everyone. At the moment, I am thinking about how netman should behave when automatic searching and connecting to wifi hotspots is enabled. I already have an idea how this can be achieved, but I want to use the least of processing time possible, knowing from experience how network managers that think for themselves can be made to almost clog the system. As far as I am concerned, manual connections to a wifi is enough for me. I only need to click a button, and netman connects. My 'idea' is to use the already existing timer to check whether there is a connection, if not, it calls the function for automatic connections. If when the latter function returns there is still no active connection, netman stops trying to connect automatically until the user tries to connect manually. On startup, the timer would call the function for automatic connections without user intervention if automatic connections are enabled.
