Adding Network Interfaces + System Config APIs

Hello,
I've inherited some code that creates Network Interfaces for modems, and I need some assistance understanding some of the top levels stuff, plus some pointers. Any help is appreciated.


Currently the existing code I inherited calls a command line app through authentication services. From there it then matches the interface based on some search elements. As I understand it's searching the dynamic store for the interfaces through a set of keys, is this correct?

Can anyone succinctly give me a top level explanation of the dynamic store?

Ok, once it's got the matching interface it easily sets up the PPP connection and connects / disconnects no problem. Now, here comes the inevitable point I want to change. Currently the interface matching uses a very strict set of conditions, basically a very specific Interface with APN, username / password, etc... Our modems can store a number of connection profiles and I'd like to not have to create a new interface for each profile.

Is there a way to create a more general interface and re-populate the profile specific information?

I realize that doing this also requires authentication (as it currently does so), does any change require authentication (I'm pretty sure it does)?

Anyways, any help is appreciated in this regard.

Cheers!
~Rob
