Abstract

See full text

A new connection wizard automatically detects available networking hardware, as well as networks that are available. The wizard then presents the user with a list of choices, i.e., different connection types that they can set up. This list of options is based on the hardware and networks that were detected initially. Thus, the wizard will only present the user with the connection types that can actually be utilized. Once the user has selected a connection type and completed the configuration through the wizard, the wizard will automatically test the connection and report success or failure to the user.
