+0.35:
+- cellular backend:
+ o add suport for cdc_acm USB modems in cellular backend
+ o install ppp (thanks Anssi) and bluez-utils when configuring a
+ cellular connection over bluetooth
+ o hso devices support (using ttyHS0 device and hso0 interface)
+ 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
+- ethernet backend:
+ 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)
+ o default to roaming for all encryption types if ROAMING is true in
+ /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net
+ o do not write ONBOOT setting in access point files
+- connection frontends:
+ o make "Any" translatable in providers list (#40926)
+ o ask for ndiswrapper files in /media (not inexistant /media/cdrom)
+- connection managers (drakroam/draknetcenter):
+ o do not check and warn thrice about device setup (i.e. kill switch)
+ o allow to select provider (useful for cellular cards)
+ o check hardware and probe networks if not already done when expanding connection
+ o show wait message when checking hardware
+ o do not let interactive::gtk set huge window size when asking hardware
+ settings (PIN code)
+- drakconnect:
+ o allow skipping interface choice if AUTOMATIC_IFACE_CHOICE is true
+ in /etc/sysconfig/drakx-net and only one "automatic" interface is
+ 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 autostart in LXDE too (Funda Wang)
+- translation updates
+
0.34:
- show wait message when starting connection
- use network-up to wait for connection to be started
