  o detect cellular_card types from ifcfg file

0.36.3:
- wireless backend (backport from 0.52):
  o correctly initialize monitor object in
    draknetcenter/drakroam/net_applet so that it can be reused later
    (and thus pre-select correct network in wpa_supplicant)
  o run wpa_cli select_network as fallback when network monitor (mandi)
    is not available
  o refresh wpa_supplicant network ids after wpa_supplicant is restarted too
  o keep track of hidden networks
  o write bssid in wpa_supplicant.conf for hidden networks
    (helps getting network ids of hidden networks)
  o set scan_ssid to 1 only for hidden or non-broadcasted SSIDs
    (based on an idea from Pascal Terjan)
  o set higher priority (1) for encrypted wpa_supplicant networks
    (based on an idea from Patrick Sinz)
- wireless backend (backport from 0.53):
  o run wpa_cli reconfigure after writing network settings in wpa
    config file

    network  is configured (fixes showing configure window again when
    clicking Connect right after Configure)

    using ifup-hso script, together with dkms-hso and hso-rezero
  o do not write DEBUG=yes for hso devices
  o write CELLULAR_CID in ifcfg file if needed
  o call comgt instead of gcom
  o update chat/ppp files when connecting to a cellular network
  o fix check for SIM card (adapt to latest comgt output)
  o use "comgt PIN" to check cellular cards status
  o use ttyUSB2 or ttyUSB1 as control device for usbserial devices
    when possible
  o hang when waiting for comgt to finish (not to have a zombie process)
  o guess provider according to APN from chat file or from
    configuration of current network
- cellular providers:
  o add BouygTel, SFR WAP (Illimythics / Pass Surf), SFR EeePC
  o add Finnish providers (from Anssi)
  o fix APN for TIM provider (from Giuseppe Ghibo)
  o enhance label of SFR Web APN

  o do not disable ONBOOT for PCMCIA interfaces (ifplugd is used by default)
  o fix blacklisting via_velocity for ifplugd
  o do not blacklist ifplugd for via_velocity, use a link detection
    delay instead (reported working by Stefan van der Eijk)
- generic backend:
  o find gateway address for ptp connections with only one interface
    route (like hso devices)
- wireless backend:
  o do not try to use mandi if not available
  o really force using wireless-tools when wpa_supplicant gives empty
    results (by removing useless info from wpa_cli output)
  o add network to wpa_supplicant config if needed when connecting
    (drakroam/netcenter)
  o use signal level if all reported qualities are 100% and if signal
    level is different
  o parse "Signal level=" as well (was only parsing "Signal level:")
  o try to normalize signal level reported by wpa_supplicant only if
    some values are greater than 100
  o refresh networks list when switching from non-roaming to roaming
    (to get wpa_supplicant network IDs)

    detected (i.e. not ndiswrapper)
  o allow to skip protocol and address configuration (defaulting to dhcp)
    if AUTOMATIC_ADDRESS is true in /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net
- draknetcenter:
  o do not use a networks list when there is only one network, just
    use one text line (cellular cards)
- drakproxy: factorize code restarting window manager (tv)
- net_applet:
  o do not read modules_conf (saves 92 kB of RSS, 25808 -> 25716)
  o allow to disable D-Bus usage by setting DBUS=no in /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net
    (saves about 5200 kB of RSS memory)
    this disables Interactive Firewall and switching wireless network
    in the background without being root
  o do not try to run ifw code if disabled (total memory gain of 156 kB
    after network::net_applet::ifw move, if D-Bus is disabled)

  o disable autostart notifications of net_applet (Tv, #18965)
  o prevent firing up drakbug when automatic startup is disabled (Tv, #32292)
  o use "Help" instead of "Get Online Help" since the doc is local (thanks damsweb)
- draksambashare:
  o fix existing shares test (aginies, #30099)
  o use exit instead of return in main code (nvigier, #32374)
- draknfs (nvigier):
  o add subtree_check option
  o fix bug with sync/async option
  o nfs service was renamed to nfs-server for 2008.0
  o fix path for do_pkgs->ensure_is_installed : /sbin/rpc.statd
    is from nfs-utils-client package, not nfs-utils
  o use exit instead of return in main code

0.12:
- fix check of nfs-utils-clients installation (Tv)

0.11:
- enhance selection of multiple thirdparty packages

  (for example in automatic install, useful for live systems)

0.10:
- drakroam: do not show "More networks" menu if empty (#28626)
- don't translate program names in old interface (Emmanuel Blindauer, #29196)
- drakconnect: make net_applet reload its configuration after an
  interface is deleted(#28680)
- draknfs: fix missing use of gtkset (aginies)

0.9:
- allow drakroam to be run as user (#23771)
- do not allow drakconnect to be run as user anymore
- fix gateway detection for new ppp daemon (#27886)

0.8:
- prefer DNS variables over MS_DNS one in ifcfg files
  (should fix ppp ifcfg files and static net install)
- drakroam: rt73-firmware support (#29691)
- drakroam: do not detect network with empty ssid as configured
- drakroam: fix rf_kill detection for ipw3945 by checking it before
  interface presence
- drakroam: remove ipw3945d service support
- drakroam: reload ipw3945 module if no interface is present when the
  device is not rf-killed (fix missing interface is booting with rf-kill)
- drakroam: try to find wireless driver if unknown (fix rt61 detection)
- drakroam: rt61 firmware support

0.7:
- add missing tools: drakhosts, draknfs, draksambashare
  (thanks Titi for the hint)
- drakconnect: match PCI domain when looking up devices by MAC address
  (Titi)

- drakconnect: default to NEEDHOSTNAME=no
- drakroam: merge flags from configured wpa_supplicant networks in all
  matching scanned networks
- drakroam: detect ad-hoc networks when wpa_supplicant is used

- drakroam: allow to configure ad-hoc networks with wpa_supplicant
- drakroam: write more settings in ifcfg files when wpa_supplicant is
  used
- drakroam: do not write Roaming WIRELESS_MODE anymore, ifup scripts
  will rely on WIRELESS_WPA_DRIVER
- drakroam: do not override AP address with "any" when parsing
  wpa_supplicant network list
- net_applet: start it using GNOME own autostart infrastructure
  (Frederic Crozat)
- net_applet: fix detection of running net_applet processes

0.6:
- use link detection delay for forcedeth and sky2 drivers (#28023)
- use ifplugd for forcedeth driver, it works fine (even if mii-tool does not handle it)
- override pcitable driver with detected network driver (useful to detect ndiswrapper)
- do not ask ndiswrapper firmware if already configured for selected device (#25968, #27850)
- drakroam: show window before wait message (fix window icon)
