Like Thomas said, NM has implicit kernel dependencies for specific features (userspace IPv6LL, bond/bridge mac address at creation, some WiFi features, IPv6 temp addresses, prefix route creation, etc) but it should gracefully degrade for most of these, with a slight loss of functionality. I think the oldest kernel I've run NM on recently was a 3.6 or 3.7 kernel, which at this point is almost 3 years old. > > NM will try to accommodate to missing features and should mostly should > > work -- of course, certain features might then not be available (such as > > [2]). > That's quite good news :-). > > > Try it and send a bug-report :) > Sure :-). I'm going to test it on 2.6.37 with gcc 4.6.3. While 2.6.37 may work, patches/bug reports will obviously handled on a case-by-case basis depending on how invasive or complex they are. If it's pretty simple, then sure, we'll take it :) Dan _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
