Not in the short term, but it's on the roadmap. The main goal is to fix (rewrite, in some cases) the current codebase to make it capable of working with different back-ends. Something that is now simply missing - the code is messy and completely tied to the tools and files traditionally used to configure the network. So one of the first steps of the whole initiative is to make the code modular enough so it can use those tools/files directly or it can rely on wicked or in NetworkManager. Once that is achieved (is not going to be a bed of roses) we can start talking about libnm or any other possible back-end. > It would certainly look (and probably work) nicer than calling shell every > couple of lines as it is the case with wicked there. Certainly. Although we will have to explore how well can that work during an installation, which is a very special use-case (basically working in a "chrooted" and very limited environment).
