Package: wicd-daemon
Version: 1.7.2.4-4.1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

While this is just a "wishlist" item, it is very important for the way
I use my laptops.

It is becoming increasingly common for people to use laptops on a
variety of different networks, along with VPNs and virtual machines.
Because of this, at times it makes a lot of sense to have multiple raw
network interfaces configured (e.g. wired and wireless at the same
time).  

I request that wicd be tweaked to allow users, from the GUI, to
configure multiple network interfaces at once.  Clearly only one of
these interfaces should be able to configure a gateway ("default
route" is much better nomenclature, but whatever) at a time, but it
would not be hard to allow this sort of configuration in the GUI.
Perhaps shove it into an advanced area where typical users will ignore
it.

Thanks,
tim
