Ah ok, but shouldn't that all be fixed now that the patch is back to
make NetworkManager properly ignore stuff that it should ignore?
meaning: only look for USE_NM/NM_CONTROLLED (I forgot which), not demand
more than that.
But ideally it would be nice if there was only one way to setup a
network.. and for me that means NetworkManager :). But drakxtools was
more advanced IIRC, so first NetworkManager needs to get more advanced,
more documentation, etc.
Cool possibilities with just NetworkManager:
<A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NMEnterpriseNetworking">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NMEnterpriseNetworking</A>
<A HREF="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677148:">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677148:</A>
(all one bugzilla.gnome.org, seem duplicates, but there is a bug per
product, so bug for maybe gnome-control-center, gnome-shell, etc)
677144: network: make sure bridged devices are handled
677145: network: make sure bridged devices are handled
677146: network: make sure bonded devices are handled
677147: network: make sure bonded devices are handled
677148: network: make sure vlans are handled
677149: network: make sure vlans are handled
677150: network: make sure ipoib is handled
677151: network: make sure ipoib is handled
I had to lookup what ipoib (IP over infiniband) meant, article is here:
<A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/wg/concluded/ipoib.html">http://www.ietf.org/wg/concluded/ipoib.html</A>
GNOME shell specific:
<A HREF="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677142:">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677142:</A> multiple nics (NM can
handle it, GNOME shell not)
677142: network: make sure multiple nics are handled ok
677143: network: make sure multiple nics are handled ok
Note: The support is in NetworkManager. The GNOME bugs are to ensure it
is shown/exposed in the UI properly. Not sure if available in stuff like
KNetworkManager, but NM is not specific to GNOME.
All bugs above are really server like things. I thought drakxtools still
was better at setting up Wifi; and I think that is more important to get
right than vlan/bridging/etc.
