Network Status pages: added pages to view Network Information

Sunil Mohan Adapa requested to merge steglicd:Network-Status into master

Created by: steglicd

Added network status pages which supports:

  • show IP (v4/v6) address and netmask
  • show MAC address
  • show device name
  • show firewall zone name
  • DNS Servers
  • wifi information (like channel, SSID, rate or signal strenght)
  • shared or not, is the default connection or no

ToDo:

  • if connection is disabled and re-enabled again, no information are visible anymore (Bug). Currently I'm not sure if this is a bug within Networkmanager, Plinth or the network module

During refactoring I also added two enhancements to network configuration app:

I added some generic network helper functions to global network helper class to get some information from a device by it's name. This is used when editing a connection (no ip was shown before)

When selecting an existing WiFi on the "scan" page, the user will be redirected to the "WiFi add" form. This form did not contain a WiFi capable Interface as default selection, for this reason the user get a invalid form message when entering the form. I preselected the first wifi interface which is found on the host.
