Reorganize network configuration steps.
* Modify startup code to:
* <strike>User goes to network configuration page (http://localhost:8080/network)</strike>
** Read configuration databases
* <strike>Generate list of network interfaces that can be configured.</strike>
** Test each existing entry against the current hardware configuration
** For each interface, test the network.sqlite database and see if it's already configured.
*** If they match, start it up using the stored settings
** If it is, change the color of the button corresponding to that interface.
*** If they don't, delete that stored setting
** Move already configured interfaces to another list?
** Start up system services that are configured and active.
* <strike>User picks an interface.</strike>
* Modify the /index.html template to not show a sitrep but the current configuration from the databases
* <strike>If the interface is wired (/eth?/), user moves on to /network/tcpip</strike>
 
* If the interface is wireless (/wlan?/), user moves on to /network/wireless
{{Template:Byzantium}}
* User sets the ESSID of the interface (default: Byzantium) and channel (default: 3)
* User moves on to /network/tcpip
* User either
** enters an IP address and netmask
** clicks the "pick a random address button"
*** note: the random IP address will be from RFC 1918.
*** note: the user will be advised to choose an RFC 1918 IP address.
* If the user clicks "random", Network.randomip() is called.
** A random integer 1 <= x <= 3 is generated.
*** 1: 10/8
**** ip_address[0] = 10
**** ip_address[1] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** ip_address[2] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** ip_address[3] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** netmask = '255.0.0.0'
*** 2: 172.16/16
**** ip_address[2] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** ip_address[3] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** netmask = '255.255.0.0'
*** 3: 192.168/24
**** ip_address[2] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** ip_address[3] = Random.randint(1, 254)
**** netmask = '255.255.255.0'
** Note that we don't need cryptographically relevant random values for this.  It's overkill.  Also, it would deplete the entropy pool used by OpenSSL.
* Display the user's chosen network configuration. Confirm:
* If confirmed
** Generate string to go into network.sqlite database
** run iwconfig on the interface to set the ESSID and channel
** run ifconfig on the interface to set the IP address and netmask
** check return codes to detect success
** add string to network.sqlite database
