Updating Network Wizard [using Woof-CE dialogs] [alpha]

About 1000 lines have been deleted/added.
For the GUI I borrowed some code from Simple Network Setup and alsawizard (woof ce versions).

Those with very unstable connections might find this interesting..

I'd like to explain and document all the changes I made but I have things to do.
Just testing this takes too much time.
There are 5000+ lines of code.. feedback and patches are welcome..

/!\ Pet for testing only /!\

When you talk about unstable connections...

I have done some research and figured out it applies to situations where one is at such places as airport, McDonald and other where there are to factors involved:

A) Probably several Wlan AP in the same system

B) Lots of laptops and phones connected

This is a thing i have realized as i never have the problem in a private home, but always in public places and its really really bad for what whatever one wants to do as the connection can drop a few hundred times in a couple of hours.

I downloaded and installed your pet to my Slacko 6.3 64 bits and now we shall see how it comes out once present at a public place next week.

Atle, something like that...

Today I added code for ifplugd and wpa_cli. After a successful connection... apparently when these daemons are running, autoreconnection happens all the time.

I'm not quite sure of what I'm doing, I guess this should have been done years ago.
