That's exactly the limit that I'd impose on the LPIC-1 level. Pretty much to
answer the 'how the heck does gnome/kde/... know that I just put in a USB
stick?' question. :)

Well, I'll leave it in the line up for now but I expect all of you to vote it
down, then.

Good question for everyone. Right now iwconfig is in '205.1 Basic
networking configuration' (don't know how 'Basic' got in the title but...).
I won't add it to the objectives yet for LPIC-1 but I will add a task to the
survey (coming RSN for LPIC-1) about using the tools. If they get voted as
important for LPIC-1, I'll add it formally.
Sound fair?
Also, the official word isn't out yet but the LPIC-1 JTA isnow available at:
https://www.lpi.org/caf/Xamdev/jta
I'll be sending out a formal announcement (plus a bribe of free exams ;))
later today or tomorrow.
Regards,
