Refactored networking.py to not have to create a new wnettools interface every time a method gets called. Now it reuses the same one and makes changes to the iface name/driver as needed.
Refactored a few methods in wnettools.py to be organized more logically and reduce external program calls.
In experimental branch, added a few methods to networking/wnettools that can be used for enabling/disabling interfaces, as well as unloading/loading the driver associated with an interface.
Added a check for mii-tool/ethtool that gets run when wicd starts, so it can decide which to use to check for a wired connection.
Added a check for ip, to decide how to flush the routing tables.
Rewrote some of the DHCP client checking code.
Added a method (that's currently unused) to release a dhcp lease for each of the supported clients.
- Reworked GUI: Moved script button next to connect button, reduced size of both buttons, moved advanced settings from an expander to a dialog and put an advanced settings button next to scripts/connect buttons.
- When a wireless network has encryption enabled, "Secured" will no longer show up in the info for the network unless the encryption type can't be determined.
- Added support for detecting kill switch status (thanks to webograph for the inital patch).
- Reduced the number of calls to iwconfig during connection status updates (it is only called once per update now), which should lower cpu usage.
- Moved Autoreconnect methods from the wireless dbus service to the daemon dbus service.
- Added "Validating Authentication" status message during wireless connection process.
- Added support for disabling monitoring of connection status when computer is suspended, which gets rid of some error messages, eliminates occasional suspension failure, and reduces the odds that wicd will auto connect to a wireless network when a wired network is available. (Right now this feature is disabled, as it requires a script in /etc/acpi/suspend.d/, which can't be included with the current SVN layout.)
