Research direction

Start with the connectivity_plus example at packages/connectivity_plus/connectivity_plus/example/lib/main.dart and reproduce the logs on macOS with both Ethernet and WiFi connected. Trace how the example receives the connectivity list and compare it with the expected result containing both connection types; done means the reported list reflects both active connections.
