Is there a reason a VPN connection is not a BNetworkDevice? That could
come in useful in many other places, so it sounds better than writing
ad-hoc code just in the network preferences?
I would assume that there is no other way to implement a VPN than to
have a BNetworkDevice. Or I surely hope so, at least...
Alex, what are you up to? :-)
Any kind of VPN connection will likely be centered around a definition
of what the vpn connection should look like. Traditionally the network
devices created for a VPN connection are created when connecting, then
tore down when disconnecting.
aka... the network device won't exist until the vpn tunnel is
constructed,
so how can BNetworkInterfaceItem exist before the interface exists?
