* make dcop handling portable
* move dcop call for start, stop interfaces from wlan to interface


Old TODO of Benmayer:

Types:
-Ethernet Connection (Done)
-ISDN Connection
-Modem COnnection (Started)
-xDSL connection
-Token Ring Connection
-CIPE (VPN) connection (ipsec?)
-Wireless Connection (Done)
-Bluetooth
-IPChains?

When Zaurus is in cradle, USB interface is connected and reported as UP by the Network Setting application, clicking on Information button does not popup a window. It used to work before, but now it's broken in the latest feed...

-Z hangs on PCMCIA-eject of Symbol 802.11b card (card seems to be in an odd
state after first boot following reflash; see Additional Info)

udhcpc needs to output the dhcp information so interfaces can read it

interfacesetupimp really doesn't need a interface* pointer

PPP module needs to scan pppd.tdb to see what is currently active

WLAN
- add possiblity to input text or hex without knowing "s:"
- Handle "any" and any the same way in config

Add a route/DNS editor under the ViewAdvancedInfo button

Use a true TCP/IP widget

Automaticly update the main list of interfaces:

You can look up the meaning of the packets you receive, or you can just go 
poll for changes you might be interested in each time you receive _any_ 
packet. Anything's better than periodic polling.

Note that you can't do this as non-root on some kernels. There's a patch 
which can go into the hh.org kernel if it's not already there.
