True; it's very nice that most of the backend has become generic. My patch became pretty small (oh, wait I'm still using 0.6.5). I guess I'm thinking about someone who may not have a full D-Bus/HAL/X/GNOME stack going. By the time you get NM and a client (nm-applet), that's a lot of packages. Isn't there a CLI interface to NM? Have you ever tried it? I always thought that would be a neat project. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
