[Webmin-maintainers] Bug#317749: Network Interfaces: Please support multiple logical interfaces and mapping

[Thomas Hood]

Package: webmin-core

Severity: wishlist

(I requested this before as part of a bug report that got closed.)

The current Network Configuration|Network Interfaces screen presumes
that users have one logical interface per physical interface.  If the
user has multiple logical interfaces defined then the page is rather
misleading.

I wish that the display would look something like this:

Network interfaces
===================
Name   Interface definition
----   --------------------
lo     lo
eth0   home-static
eth1   -

Interface definitions
=====================
Name        Family Method   Boot?  Options
----        ------ ------   -----  -------
lo          inet   loopback
home-static inet   static   yes    IP Address: 192.168.0.1
                                   Netmask:    255.255.255.0
home-dhcp   inet   dhcp     no

Mapping
=======
Name   Script                      Input
----   ------                      -----
eth0   /usr/local/sbin/map-eth.sh  foo bar
                                   baz bay
eth1   /bin/grep


The "Interfaces" information comes from /etc/network/ifstate.
The "Interface definitions" and "Mapping" information comes from /e/n/i.
