Found a call to calloc() without a matching call to free() in core_functions.c

i) eth0, wlan0 can be upped and downed from GUI
ii) eth0 configuration cannot be edited from GUI
iii) wifi configuration can be edited from GUI
iv) wifi hotspot scanning works
v) listing of configured wifis and eth0 supported

TODO: (ie what I am doing now)
i) Testing of using a root SUID for backend instead of sudo
ii) automatic selection of strongest wifi signal but on request by
user. That is, user presses a button to instruct netman to search
instead of having it eating CPU cycles without being told to.

After achieving these goals, the new goal will be that of internationalisation.

Those who are 'worried' about netman/backend not recognizing
international characters, shall be listened to. :)

These are my humble ideas... Anyone who has other ideas is free to
make them known.
