Hello,

Are there any plans to allow network settings like IP, DNS, ... to be
configured via JavaScript API?
The idea would be to be able to configure the network of a device from
a local HTML app. Before I create my own API for this I wanted to know
if there are already some plans.

Tanks for your comments on this.

Regards
Pascal

We are planning to design an API for this. Last I've heard, we need to
know what are the use cases. Then, we will be able design an API.
Likely, a lot of "setting" (like DNS, etc.) part will be done trough the
Settings API.
