Hello,

I am working on ethernet support for a board with two ethernet interfaces on Android 4.3.

Android monitors ethernet interfaces through the ConnectivityService.
When the ConnectivityService is started, it creates an instance of
EthernetDataTracker and calls EthernetDataTracker.
startMonitoring().
The problem is that EthernetDataTracker is written to support only one
ethernet interface.

I already had a look into
https://github.com/gxben/aosp-ethernet/tree/master/jb and
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93626 . First one is a draft
implementation for JellyBean 4.2_r1 and it does not compile on 4.3 and
the second one is for ICS.

Is there any ethernet full support for JB 4.3?

Thanks,
Cristina

4.3 did support Ethernet.  It only supported a single instance.  Any version you start with will need work to support multiple Ethernet interfaces.
