Hi all! I'am Armin aka apriori and member of the developer team of yoper linux. Currently we're very interested to take configuration of networking one step further. It's time to change networking configuration in linux in a way so that not about 7 tools are needed to configure anything you want, e.g. dialup or vpns.
In our opinion it might be interesting to improve NM in that way, so that it is able to modify permanent system settings about networking, e.g. configure static ip's, hostname, nameservers, a host list etc., all of that available via dbus of course, so that frontends like knetworkmanger can use them. As this would lead to extensive changes to the source of NetworkManager, we kindly ask you how strong the general interest of support of this functionality is and whether it's possible for the NM core team to implement that functionality in later versions of NM or whether we should go with a distro specific solution. Best regards Armin aka apriori _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
