Maybe I'm just saying stupid things, I think all this rules/management should be implemented somehow inside FSO ;) I mean, for example I want to lookup something in a web page. I open the browser. The browser automatically requests Internet access to FSO. FSO tries to search for a way to connect using its configuration/rules, which may be changed as user preferences, for example in shr-settings. The point is.. why to waste time opening a GUI when it should be automated and only start when requested by app? Showing GUI should be optional, or at least show it when FSO can't connect it by itlself. I'd like to safe battery, and if I need to search something in the net quickly, not wasting half of that time connecting to networks. That would be ideal. The problem is implementing it :P -- Pau Espin Pedrol mail/jabber: [email protected] http://espeblog.no-ip.org "A través de los siglos, la humanidad ha probado muchas formas de combatir las fuerzas del mal... oración, ayuno, buenas obras y todo eso.
