Description : Ceni - Curses interface to /etc/network/interfaces
A Curses user interface for configuring network interfaces with ifupdown.
Ceni can manage basic network interface ifupdown configuration stanzas for
ethernet and wireless devices.
Please note that Ceni doesn't have IPv6 support[1], which is the reason
why neither of us has pushed it to Debian so far. Adding support for
the various IPv6 flavours (static, SLAAC with and without privacy
extensions, dhcpv6) would be reasonably possible, but isn't on the
immediate to-do list, patches are of course welcome. Likewise for
supporting the various IPv6 related tunneling protocols (6in4, 6t4,
6rd) or additional imginable functionality (PPPoE, VPN tunnels, etc.).
If anyone were to step up to maintain this in Debian despite this known
problem, we'd be happy to accommodate Ceni and help with its (existing)
packaging as needed.

[1] Ceni doesn't deal with inet6 stanzas, which effectively means that
ifupdown falls back to SLAAC (if available by the router) without
privacy extensions enabled (privext 0).
