i need bonding and bridging and vlans, but what about AoE, or even STP in
bridging.
next to wifi, what about vpns?
for NM to replace initscripts/drakxtools/mganetapplet it not only needs to do
all that, but have for KDE and Gnome AND other DE's a way to graphically do
all that, that's preferably the same.
i guess this ties in the fact that imho gnome tries to do too much. maybe it
would be better to have a single graphic UI that can handle NM no matter the
DE.
in any case, imho it's too soon for us to drop drakxtools/mganetapplet/if-cfg*
(if ever).
let's retalk about this for mga4.
