In fact, effectively this is what I did, the reason being I was
unsuccessful uploading my changes. But now, it looks like I succeeded
with this commit:

-----------------------------------------------
commit 799957ad4007aa8e272d18508e59f33903b7c44d
Author: edbarx <edbarx@???>
Date: Fri Aug 28 19:43:42 2015 +0100

    GUI frontend: now supports wireless and wired connections. Code
added to protect the defaults in /etc/network/interfaces.

    Backend C code: add another function connect_wired() and another
operation to backend code number 9. This is to connect a wired
connection. Both the frontend and the backend now refuse to disconnect
multiple connections. netman is now designed to handle one connection
at a time. Code has been added to minimize situations where multiple
instances of the backend are running.
