Add a warning about wifi interface in the cloud

[julien-duponchelle]

A common problem is user connecting the cloud to a wifi interface. But due to the nature of the 802.11 protocol it's not supposed to work the packet will be injected but because the packet will come from a mac address different of the mac which have initialized the authentication packet will be drop.

I suggest that in the Cloud interface we add a warning saying it will not work on Wifi interface.

What do you think?

How do you propose to detect a Wifi interface?

I propose to just put a warning in the dialog about the known limitation of the cloud.

I saw on github a python library that can be used for this called pyroute2. Below is an example script for detecting interface type.

Thanks for sharing :)

I think that library is only for Linux. I am more concerned how to do it on Windows.

I think we can't detect properly. Some time the wifi is hidden by a bridge. Le jeu. 20 avr. 2017 à 12:26, Jeremy Grossmann <notifications@github.com> a écrit :

Should be solved when we do this: #1999
