Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: knetworkmanager
Hi.
This is probably more of a wish-list but I'll include it here anyway and
perhaps someone will find it useful.
When it comes to networking I think that there's a bit too much separation
between wireless/modem/3g/cat5 networking. Most of the time I'm not interested
in what means I connect to the internet, I just want a connection.
I would like to suggest that knetworkmanager would handle all these different
types of connections automatically and connect to the appropriate one.
In my ideal world I should be able to define a few methods of connecting and
have knetworkmanager go through them in a defined order.
If defined it should:
First try to connect through eth0, if that doesn't work, try wireless, if
nothing there go for a 3g-adapter and if everything else fails check if there's
a modem and use that to connect.
The order should be easy to define by me so that I don't have to go through all
tests if I know that I currently only have access to a modem.
As it is now I have knetworkmanager for eth0 and wireless and kppp (and
vwdial) for modem and 3g. I could probably use kppp for 3g too, I just
havent managed to configure it propery yet. Still, there's two apps
there (well, three really) when there really only should be one.
I hope this is concidered constructive and that someone find it useful.
Thanks for reading this far. I'm done now.
