This is simply incredible! That Netgear XS512EM switch, the one I was griping about last week, and ever since I got it, as a matter of fact, the one with the pile of shit useless inaccessible user interface, wellp, it now has two accessible interfaces. A fully asynchronis HTML5-only web page with all controls fully useable and tested working, plus a whiptail menu interface in BASH, which calls backend python scripts for functions, and provides me with a nice arrows, enter, escape, textarea, spacebar with stars for checkboxes or radio buttons style text user interface. For anyone familiar with Allstarlink, you can imagine the experience very similar to their shell menu. Claude and I got it all done and tested in twelve hours. Every function, tested and working. Over 1,300 tests passed, on the actual hardware. Its getting harder and harder to hate on all this. Of course, that will be until the day it whipes all of my lab machines, my servers, and my personal machine in one fowl swoop of a halucination in auto mode, LOL.
