The command to connect to eth0 is a new addition. Use the following:

./backend 9 eth0

Please note that netman, the frontend does not assume which device you
want to use as your networking interface. This means, you have to
select it in the list box.

Also remember to change the SUID of backend to that of root. backend
needs root privileges, that is why its SUID is changed to that of
root.

My /etc/network/interfaces file is as follows:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# WIFI Configuration
iface wlan0 inet dhcp


If I remember well, backend can also connect eth1, eth2, ... eth99,
but that has not been tested. The frontend still only knows about
eth0, but again, the system must be configured so that eth0 is
recognized.

Hopefully, this helps.
