It's suggested in the README.md of libnetaid. Something like this will work:

iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

It's up to you to add other stanzas like allow-hotplug, auto, etc.

If you only add stanzas for the loopback interface "lo", ifupdown will do nothing.

Exactly. This is because you only have the loopback interface in your /etc/network/interfaces

For the same reason. On the other hand, using sudo in the ubus calls makes no sense because
they provide granted privileges without the need of root permissions, just as dbus does.

If you are root, run commands like:

# ip link set eth0 up
# ifup eth0

However, if you aren't root then you want to run commands like:

$ ubus call ering.netaid interface_up '{ "ifname": "eth0"}'
$ ubus call ering.netaid ifup '{ "ifname": "eth0"}'

The variable "tty" is optional. I use it to redirect the output to the vte terminal of the GUI.

It might be another option, although I think ifconfig is deprecated.

The more ubus handlers, the more configurable will be "gtk.ini".

Indead, I'm considering to make optional the use of ubus as well.

Cheers,
