</div>Well for cauldron nm-mdv is not available at all because nm 0.9 is quite<br>
different than 0.8. From a fast look i guess it should not be too difficult to<br>
adapt your patch starting from the fedora/redhat plugin .<br>
Regarding a total switch to nm, if i'm not wrong the most problematic part is<br>
the installer integration.<br>
Maybe it's possible to adapt our draktools to edit/drop files directly in<br>
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ if we're sticking with the native<br>
plugin (keyfile).<br></blockquote><div><br>I actually vote for keyfile plugin, because it is most stable and upstream. NM-mdv would be the best solution if it would be incorporated upstream, but it still needs lots of work to get there.<br>
<br>One big issue with NM only by default is the installation via boot.iso and similar methods, and also overall installation via network - while it is certainly possible to configure networkmanager from the console, it is by no means easy. This was not the case for Mandriva desktop, but I believe that it is one nice feature to have in Mageia. <br clear="all">
