drakx-installer uses most of interesting bits of drakx-net (ake network
detection & set up, ...)

OK, give me the NM patches for the installer :-)
Seriously, without trolling, we just cannot drop drakx-net until we got
something else for the installer.
Dunno what does anaconda these days btw?

</I>
mgaonline has less needs, basically detecting network connectivity
but those are shared with the installer, so even if the lower level
part would change, there's no readon not to have a common perl
layer hiding the low level bits instead of making both interfaces NM
