This page needs an update. I will help getting this page on shape. This update is also a good opportunity to discuss possible futures.

If this is some request for feature suggestions to Maemo platform I would like to raise this again

Actually I'm not sure if this was changed/solved in 3.0 (had no time to check in depth) but there are two issues with 2.0/2.1 network system.

1. only one network type can be opened (discussed in mentioned thread above)

2. lack of extensibility - hardcoded set of possible types of connections (wlan,ppp)

As for 2. I would like to have some plugin system or one additional generic network type that can be easily hooked into. Something similar like current DUMMY IAP but it should call custom code on connection/disconnection. Current reason for this is to integrate Bluetooth PAN connection type seamlessly but there can be other custom types of connecions in future. Even if 1. is decided to be too much work, we can implement VPN over this custom network type.
