I will definitely look at using system-tools-backends  - thanks for
the suggestion.

I had a look at the solid project. Definitely sounds like the way
forward, but as with HAL itself, the trouble of using such tools under
development is that they keep changing, and arent available across
many old machines running distributions with some older version of
dependent stuff. (like I am struggling to run my app on a PCLinuxOS
partition as it uses an older version of hal :( )

Well your inputs have given me a lot of fresh things to look at! so
thanks.. and absolutely no need to apologize.. any design flaws that
netconfigwizard code may currently have is purely my responsiblity..
and i am keen to build something flexible and useful.

Cheers,
Vivek
