ToDo

Reorganize network configuration steps.

• User goes to network configuration page (http://localhost:8080/network)
• Generate list of network interfaces that can be configured.
  • For each interface, test the network.sqlite database and see if it's already configured.
  • If it is, change the color of the button corresponding to that interface.
  • Move already configured interfaces to another list?
• User picks an interface.
• If the interface is wired (/eth?/), user moves on to /network/tcpip
• If the interface is wireless (/wlan?/), user moves on to /network/wireless
• 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
