# network
Wired and wifi in one module, because a connected `eth0` must not mask the
wifi state.
The tile shows one line per active link. When both wired and wifi are up it
shows both: the API exposes no route metric, so it does not guess which link
carries traffic.
The page lists managed wired devices, then a wifi radio switch and list. A
row click connects; a secured network that is not yet known reveals an inline
password field. Known networks offer Forget, the connected one Disconnect.
## Service lifetime
`alwaysActive: true`, and truthfully: the `Quickshell.Networking` backend
pushes and there is no poll to gate. There is no `Service.qml`, unlike sound's
`Service.qml` or vm's `Virsh.qml`, because there is no loop to own.
Referencing `Networking` in `NetworkModule.qml` is what instantiates it at
shell start.
The backend is empty for about two seconds after launch and then fills. Every
binding repaints when it arrives; nothing caches the first paint.
## Not built
Joining a hidden network. It would need a NetworkManager settings profile
built from scratch, and `NMSettings` is not in QML scope (`typeof` is
`undefined`), so there is no way to construct one from QML. Enterprise and
802.1x networks are out for the same class of reason.
Disconnect and forget failures. Neither backend exposes a failure signal for
them, so a failure shows only as the list not changing. Noted rather than
faked.
