I've been giving phoudoin's (and others) test network preference applet CPR for the last week or so and have some pretty good progress so far: http://goo.gl/KQl6X Constructive input is welcome. * Yes, that is *real* code and not a mock-up * No, it is not anywhere near done yet * Yes, I am putting a "Manual/Automatic" drop down on those tab views today. * Yes, we could use new interface icons (HVIF please!) * The interface status updates real time (unplug the network cable and the status icon changes and "connected" changes to disconnected) -- Thanks! -Alexander von Gluck IV
