Hello! In #682737 [1] is stated that netcfg writes configuration for wireless interface in /etc/network/interfaces and therefor Wi-Fi card is not managed by Network-Manager.
For that matter, I would like to propose a patch to add support for netcfg to write a Network Manager config file and modify the finish-install script so that it copies to target either the nm-config file or a full /e/n/i config, according to a reasonable default and user's choice. This also contain a new question, netcfg/target_network_config, which is asked with a medium priority in finish-install, the default being also determined in the finish install, such as: - if NM is installed, default = NM configuration - if NM is not installed and the install was over wired, default = /e/n/i config - if NM is not installed and the install was over wireless, default = do not configure network All the related changes can be found in people/sorina/write_config branch [2]. Also, a image containing all the changes can be found at [3]. The config file for NM is written according to the specifications here [4]. What do you think about this? Do you believe it could be used at the moment?
