Mickey,
Fwiw, the FSO team has finally chosen to base their networking on
Intel's
connman. It's not very high on our priority list, but it's present.
I think Marek looked into that once and found it didn't support a
number of basic encryption schemes.
Also, at that time, development on Intel's side seemed to be pretty
much dead.
Maybe both is better now, not sure...
Marek, do you remember more details?
Best Regards,
Wolfgang

this is also handled by NetworkManager.
Oh, cool. Then we don't need "real" suspend (i.e., without reset)
until we want to do things like VoIP. Thanks !
I agree with Andy here, losing association is not a problem for
userland.
I don't know the status of NetworkManager-type support in the
rootfs-es,
At least on the Openmoko side, it's really bad. There isn't even a
clear statement from our application people as to which network
manager would be the best to use - they all appear to have one major
issue or another, and everyone's afraid of touching them it seems.
