Make network interface configurable #42

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Network interface is currently hardcoded to "wlan0" in connection.py; need to 
move this out to the config file.

Why does it need to know the interface name at all?

When a wifi dongle is connected, there is an existing "eth0" interface and a 
new "wlan0" interface available. Most configurations use wlan0 to connect; 
however, there are some development configurations in which the Pi is directly 
connected to a laptop over Ethernet.

I heard mentioned to look for wlan0 and try it, and then fallback to eth0 in 
case wlan0 fails. This seems nice as well so we don't need to edit the config 
file.

Sorry, I forgot.  I think I made that suggestion.

Might as well add a cmd line option for it, too.
