this looks all like Network Manager and I have to say that I disagree
with that UI. Trying to artificially differentiate between Ethernet,
WiFi, 3G etc. is pretty much bad. It makes no sense and in the end the
user doesn't really care either. Compare how we have done it within
Carrick which reflects 1:1 what ConnMan actually exports as API.

So right now ConnMan only gives you the current list of available
services. We believe that overloading the UI with information about
other services that are currently not available is not needed. It is in
this regard similar to what the iPhone does for WiFi. In general you
will only care about services that are usable. If they are not usable
why bother presenting them to the user at all.

Anyhow, we have been discussing this a while back. And in theory we
could export a FavoriteServices list similar to our Services list, but
that would also contain known services that are not in range.

Regards

Marcel
