And mostly implemented already in 0.7 for Fedora/SUSE at least (really any distro that uses ifcfg-* format files). It works with both Wired and Wireless (unencrypted & WEP) connections. WPA support isn't there yet mainly because the Fedora ifcfg-* files don't support WPA yet either, and therefore I need to find out what SUSE is doing here and copy that schema.
