Network Shell

Network shell provides helpers for figuring out network status, enabling/disabling features, and issuing commands like ping or DNS resolving. Note that net-shell should probably not be used in production code as it will require extra memory. See also generic shell for detailed shell information.

The following net-shell commands are implemented:
