I've long struggled with a problem with a new installation of ascii. I

Look back through the archives a couple years, and you'll find one of my
emails with a shellscript to tell you all wifi device names and all
wired ethernet names. A couple days after I submitted it, somebody else
improved it. A shellscript like that belongs on every computer, so it
can be invoked from every init script and run file and other
shellscripts needing the exact name of network devices.
The behaviour is different using renamed or non renamed network devices.
I'll send you a video in a few minutes showing a bug in the netstat icon
of wicd using non renamed devices (I have not been able to reproduce
this bug in the case of renamed devices).
The bug appears after running:
# ip link set <device_name> down
once you are connected to the router. The netstat icon of wicd will not
change, even being disconnected.
The behaviour of my code for the backend of simple-netaid was similar
(the same bug); so, i decided to add some code taken from the iproute2
project:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/
This weekend i've been working on that. Here you are the code:
http://gnuinos.org/IPROUTE2/
I'll inform you in the course of today.
Cheers,
Aitor.
