Hi Allan,
Thanks for suggestion, although I think one of the biggest problem
I could
have here is that I don't know what the MAC address will be until
the user
actually plug's the device in. (as I believe the USB device MAC
address is
different even though its the same USB device)
You don't need to know the MAC address of the device. What you need
to know is the "enX" name(s) that gets associated with the device(s).
... and if you were thinking about the MACAddress property that had
been showing up in the preferences.plist file, no worries, since that
property was only used by the pre-Leopard code.
The goal which I'm trying to achieve is that for a given router
instead of
setting up a specific connection type when the user install's this
router
e.g. Just Ethernet, is that I setup all the connection types which the
router supports e.g. Wireless, Ethernet and USB.
I'm going to re-ask a earlier question.
My question is what needs to be "configured" for each service? Is
DHCP derived settings not sufficient?
The DHCP-based configuration should work for most people and there's
generally few reasons why you can't have Ethernet, Wireless, and USB
enabled in the same location at the same time. As you should know,
there's no problem if you have one interface "configured" but not used
and if/when you have multiple interfaces hooked up at the same time we
tend to favor the interface with the higher performance (e.g. Ethernet
over wireless). What "settings" do you need to tweak from the defaults?
