Potentially, just as we can use yast info for wireless and wired configs now, however the upstream implementation will not do this by default of course, it will have its own PPP config UI. How much knowledge we can extract from yast to implement the upstream config is an open question. Longer term however, I think the approach is almost definitely to use NM everywhere (of course it needs a lot of work to get there for things like static routes, multiple interfaces at the same time etc, but when discussed with the Mobile and Server teams several months ago there was general agreement on this direction). -JP -- JP Rosevear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
