sorcery version 1.13.4-rc1

After binding my LAN device to interface name "lan", sorcery failed to
commence download, saying:
/var/lib/sorcery/modules/libdownload: line 128: pon: command not found
This was because sorcery didn't know how to look for an interface with that
name.

I found out that only the interface names included in INTERNET_INTERFACES, as

defined in /etc/sorcery/url, are used by sorcery. The list does not include
"lan", not to mention more exotic names. It would be impossible to call an
interface e.g. "rtfm", which breaks my heart. ;)

As the names assigned to different interfaces are found
in /etc/sysconfig/network/*.dev, that could be taken advantage of. The
INTERNET_INTERFACES list could be appended with the filenames in that
directory, minus .dev of course. That would be at least a partial solution.

IMHO there should still be a way to look for interfaces that wouldn't be such

a hack. As a temporary fix I've added my own INTERNET_INTERFACES= line
to /etc/sorcery/local/url.
