Description Guillaume Desmottes 2011-09-23 04:23:31 UTC 
Original bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659872

As said in the original report, MC could ask CM (using a yet to define Connection API) to make a ping when connection goes down so we'll time out as soon as possible.
Comment 1 Will Thompson 2011-10-20 09:55:18 UTC 
Hmm, interesting. Actually, this could be a way to solve bug 41148: have MC just tell every CM to send a ping immediately when it sees any interface go down (if another interface is still up). This avoids us having to figure out which interface a connection is using to be able to deal properly with the "connect over wired, turn on wifi, unplug cable, connection doesn't realise it's dead" case.

We'd have to fix bug 31815 in Wocky first, to make the pings actually time out and kill the connection if no answer is received.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-10-21 00:29:39 UTC 
Maybe be yeah. On the the other hand, if we are going to add Connectivity API or something to ask to send a ping we may as well add API to it to get the network iface used as well.

I'm not sure this even needs to involve MC - CMs can watch GNetworkMonitor just as well as MC can.
