network: don't use nm-connection-editor for bridges
Last modified: 2015-04-07 12:28:06 UTC
need to add a bridge page to our connection editor.
This requires design, because the bridge connection has slave connections. In nm-c-e, the bridge page of the editor has a list of the slave connections, with Add/Edit/Remove buttons next to it (basically just like the main connection-editor list, but as a flat list rather than a tree), and adding/editing a slave connection pops up a second editor window. Presumably the Add/Remove would turn into [+|-]... or I guess maybe [+|*|-] (where the "*" is a gear, for "Edit")? We could also show the details of the slave connection inline rather than showing only a list and having the details in a separate window, but it seems like that would get very busy visually. Also, when adding a slave, you have to ask what kind of slave to add... we can use the same type of dialog we use for the main [+] button, but we'd have to add Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc to it as well, since you can bridge any of those types together.
Allan, an thoughts on this ?
