Hey, this is stupid, but it's not stupid enough. We can do 'better'. This is the kind of crap I do *not* want to see make its way into FreeBSD from the Linux world, and it's why I said I'm okay with tools like NetworkManager being released under restrictive licensing that makes it less likely to be harvested for ideas by OS projects like FreeBSD. The day some asinine automated network selection line of crap like NetworkManager makes its way into the FreeBSD base system is probably the day I stop using it. Stop using what, FreeBSD or NetworkManager? Seriously? It should be obvious that the day FreeBSD pushes me to use NetworkManager is the day I stop using FreeBSD -- because I already try to avoid NetworkManager at every opportunity. You do realize that no one is forcing you to use any networking tool in either MS Windows or FreeBSD? By default there is none available in FBSD, and the Window's applications can either be configured to your own liking (well maybe not you own specifications since you have not specified any) or simply deactivated. You could start here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Enable-or-disable-network-discovery. Do you realize that some Linux distributions have actually gutted the support for their non-automated network configuration capabilities as the world moves toward NetworkManager? Do you realize that MS Windows has nothing equivalent to rc.conf or /etc/network/interfaces? I suspect you do not realize this, or you wouldn't have asked me such a stupid question. . . . and do you realize that I never said automated network management tools were available on FreeBSD by default at all? Of course not. You are not reading my emails to understand them. You're skimming them for excuses to attack straw men that have little or nothing to do with what I actually said. Disabling network discovery in MS Windows does not disable all the stupid assumptions the network management system makes about how people use networking, by the way -- and, as I said in an earlier email, disabling a poorly designed automated system does not solve the problem of it being poorly designed. It just eliminates the supposed benefits of using systems with poorly designed automated systems along with the detriments. Chad, I have read through several of your posts and agreeing with some. However, I have come to the conclusion that you seem to exhibit a form of Forward Bias in regards to newer technology. What if, and that is a big IF, a suitable tool and I am not specifying NetworkManager either were to be written for or ported to FBSD that would make the discovery of networks as simple and remove the tedious and often faulty process of manually configuring a network? If the tool was not on by default as Microsoft's is, how could that possible offend you? I do not dislike new technology. I love new technology, when it's technology that solves a problem and does so without creating additional problems. NetworkManager is not such a new technology. It's basically just a new, user-obsequious, expert-hostile interface to very old technology. I have found myself in the unenviable position of having to use NetworkManager because the core networking tools of old on a given Linux-based OS do not work properly any longer, neglected in the wake of the arrival of NetworkManager as the preferred default network management toolset. The problem is that in the past I was able to write a couple of simple scripts to automate network management in a way that suited my needs, but now NetworkManager has actually made things much worse. Now, I have to install special tools that sit on top of NetworkManager to give me a reasonably scriptable interface to NetworkManager, because I then have to write much more complex scripts that futz around with NetworkManager's BS in order to force it to do what I actually want my network to do -- and the end result is that, for my purposes, it is *less* automated overall than the simpler scripts I used to use, and requires a metric tone of extra garbage libraries and applications installed. A suitable tool would be great, but *nobody* is writing suitable tools. Everyone is writing horribly unsuitable tools, then neglecting or even deprecating the tools that actually work in a reliable, easily scriptable manner in favor of these newer, less suitable tools. The tool may not be on by default, but from what I've seen the tendency is to make shit simply not work even as well without the stupid-ass tool as they do *with* it -- which is shockingly poorly. By the way, both I and I would believe the named developers would be offended by your Fallacy of sweeping generalization

It does: it's in the registry.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
contains a list of interfaces and their settings.
Yeap, just a small detail, it doesn't bind the configuration to a
device, but to a connection interface, which in turn is bound either to
a control interface or to another service interface.
Which in turns can be bound either to a final control interface, to
another service interface or even to another connection interface.
All these bearing names in form of their class id + uid :
{----}\{----}
You basically turn around in circle for hours, looking for the next
clue, if you do not use windows tools to do the job. Sure you can write
WSH/WPS to do the mapping for you, but that is still using windows tools.
And I definitly would not edit those manually except for very simple
changes, the imbrication of layers of control sets/interfaces/devices
can result in unexpected results (for example in the likely case where
you have a firewall, a tunnel, a VPN or anything at all also using the
interface you are editing).
I remember crying tears of blood when I had to remove (not disable,
destroy) from one tunnel connection all the 7 different version of IPv6
windows put on each and every network interface.
%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc contains several BSD configuration
files for DNS settings, protocols etc.
