- Added some generic network helper functions to global network helper class to get some information from a device by it's name. This is used when editing a connection (no ip was shown before). - ToDo: This is only a workaround because we want to get the information from the connection but not from the device which belongs to the connection. If multiple connections are setup on the same device, this workaround will not work anymore.

plinth - a web front end for administering FreedomBox
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router so that your data stays with you.
Plinth is a web interface to administer the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking from Plinth. Plinth also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
