Add driver compatibility check #9

Closed technosopher closed 10 years ago

technosopher commented 10 years ago

Given the high degree of variance in the hardware on which people are likely to want to run Commotion, and the extent to which having an unsupported driver can cause all sorts of bizarre but not-easily-categorizable behavior, it makes sense to have the Linux client run a basic compatibility check on the wireless drivers that being used on a given system and produce a warning if none of them support the core functionality that Commotion requires. Eventually, this check should be incorporated into intelligent choice mechanisms for machines that have multiple wireless cards.

Also, this issue encompass creating one or more mechanisms that allow the user to specify what interface they would like to use, perhaps via the path suggested in #10
