The current method Maemo uses to detect an application wanting to access the Internet (by using ld.so tricks to hook into the socket() call) seems kind of kludgy to me - why not use the same sort of trick that PPP uses, where a network interface always exists and is tied to the default route, and when a packet is delivered to that interface for routing THEN bring up the appropriate connections. It would take modifications to the kernel - ideally some sort of DBUS message when a packet needs to be routed - but this would remove the need to hook into applications, and allow ANY app to generate a request for connection. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
