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'
- 1: 10/8
- 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.
- A random integer 1 <= x <= 3 is generated.
- 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
