[Request] (network_info_plus) Support for LAN / non-WiFi network device interfaces

[guyluz11]

Use case

Running on Windows 10 or Linux (Kubuntu).

While running the NetworkInfo().getWifiIP(); method I found out that this is only wifiIP, my Windows/Linux machine is connected via cable so it is throwing an error.

Tried get_ip_address but this is only public IP so not good.

Proposal

Replace NetworkInfo().getWifiIP(); with getIP method that will work no matter what network and platform we are on.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. We've been working on adding ethernet support to connectivity_plus. This is a good candidate for the next step as the two have similarities under the hood.

Sounds good So if this is duplicate than reference the original and I will close this issue.

Thanks

This issue got closed by the bot, please reopen it as I need to keep track of getIp function for cable-connected devices.

Pasting here the proposal from #2750

Plugin

network_info_plus

Use case

https://github.com/YowFung/flutter_interfaces_plus Lists network card interfaces but network_info_plus show only wifi networks.

Proposal

Find all phisical and virtual network interfaces and find ip address for each one, by example, when share a network with the usb interface without wifi, using only the 3g or 4g internet connection, the expected is see two interfaces: 3g with the mac, address, etc and the usb hospot with the default broadcast, gateway and default dns server, loopback local interface, etc, like as ifconfig command:

Actually the package should be called wifi_info_plus instead of network_info_plus.
