Yes you're right.
I thought that the "interfaces" file handled network profiles
that (that's why i told you i must read again the interfaces manpage)

Ok, i'll modify it that way.

I want to permit users to modify the interfaces file throught my app.

After reading quickly your interfaces file, i finally figured out that i
really misunderstood the interfaces file.

By now, i convinced that my app isn't ready to be added to Debian
packages !
I have to work more on it ...=20
I will recontact you when my app will be finished :)

Thanks a lot for your time and help !
