I wouldn't bother putting file attributes in LPIC-1 because they're not used a lot, because the set of file attributes that do something actually useful and are in fact implemented is pretty small, and because it depends on the file system being used whether they're supported at all, and on the tools being used whether they get copied along/archived/… with the rest of the file they're attached to. IMHO they're generally more trouble than they're worth. File attributes are basically a niche thing, in the same way that serial ports are a niche thing – sometimes indispensable, but something a vast majority of people can happily live without. We might put them (back) in LPIC-2 at some point, but as far as LPIC-1 is concerned we can very probably put the space to better use. > I understand that wireless could easily get out of hand, because there > is more to keep in mind than plain ethernet configuration (ESS versus > IBSS, channels, signal strength, country regulations, authentication, > ...), but I do see more and more people not only using some WiFi-ready > Linux apparatus (even Arduino now has it), but they are starting to take > it for granted.

Sticking it into 205.1, »basic networking configuration«, which at weight 3 covers a massive swathe of material makes it into one of those open- ended issues where you spend half a day in class to cover (probably) one question's worth of exam time. (The same problem applies to the mention of IPv6 in the same objective.) I suppose it is too late now to fix this. Anselm Disclaimer: This is my own personal opinion, not that of my employer.
