Title:
the way networkmanager stores and passes network information
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi,
the design of Network-Manager is really odd, because the scripts run
in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d do not have the required pre-up,
post-down phases and do not get the required data such as the network
name.
The scripts would have to use that UUID to get the information, but
how should one do that from a script? You don't even know whether to
look in the Gnome or KDE storage (which, btw., forces the user to
configure all parameters twice if he uses both Gnome and KDE). Even
worse, under gnome you can't simply copy the configuration from one
machine to another. Need to configure everything manually again and
again and again...
I did not even find a documentation of how to configure system-wide
connections, although the existence of the directory
/etc/NetworkManage/system-connections suggests that such connections
exist.
NetworkManager was obviously written be people who are soleley
desktop-oriented but not network-experienced.
regards
Hadmut
