[Ovmsdev] Network Manager Ideas

[Michael Balzer]

Another option would be to do the RegisterParam() call in the framework registration class, .i.e. OvmsVehicleRenaultTwizyInit. This would assure access rights
are set on boot if the module is included, regardless of it being actually started.

That smells a bit like breaking the factory class pattern, but seems to be an alternative.

Regards,
Michael
