I'm considering adding a new method for ip settings and I'd like some input before I go write the whole thing. Primarily, I'm wondering if this feature would have any chance of being merged since it will have very few users. My method accomplishes a similar thing to the "shared" connection method, but it's a little different. It will be called "forwarded" or "proxied". It is used for connecting to a network on behalf of another host. It's how I make my cellular wireless router work in situations where I need to offer the wireless connection as if it was just a normal Ethernet connection.
The setup involves connecting to a network normally, but not adding the acquired (via PPP, DHCP, etc) address to the interface - a different address is added the to interface instead and the original address from the network is saved; dhcpd is configured to offer that single address on the other interfaces. Additionally, an SNAT target is added to the nat table's POSTROUTING chain so that this middle device can also use the connection. _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
