Ok, took a bit longer than expected. I'm awaiting libnl1-pre8 (which has become a dependency of NM 0.7) to enter unstable RSN (currently in NEW). After that I can proceed with an 0.7 upload to unstable. In between NM 0.7 has become sufficiently stable. Things still missing, are Debian support for the system-settings daemon (which allows to provide NM with configuration data like WPA keys without a running X desktop session) and the GUI tools to setup static configuration (like IP, DNS). This is still to come. Stay tuned, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
