I don't know if prefilling input with "default network masks" is a good idea. This will cause repeated errors with people using small networks and class A or B private address ranges. In the other hand, using a combo input, pre-listing common network masks, like "255.255.255.252" (/30) and "255.255.254.0" (/23), seems not dificult doing, as there are only 30 possibilities, and masks shorter than /16 (except /8) are so rarely used that can be safely ommited. > 3) lack of a proper notification of invalid inputs. Hmm... this is interesting. Can you explain it in more details? _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
