Is there something like a network management service/framework in android that could be improved to also consider LAN to achieve always-online? I assume it currently reacts on wifi or 3g signal becoming available/going away.

hi Alexander,

I don't think Android has such LAN assumption in mind. In fact, we need extra patches to enable Ethernet support in Android. To make development friendly, the way Jeremy took might be the most straightforward.

'netcfg' could detect and apply related configurations for Beagleboard-xM.
