And support for bridges, bonding devices and lots of odd config rules
that you can do with the ifcfg scripts.
I want to like NM, and it's great that Dan's posted good links to
current API docs, but it's not a good match for a moderately complex
server role. In tight memory conditions -- OLPC's School Server, but
also UMPCs -- a large daemon running as root is hard to justify.
So... have an 'exit after initial configuration' option for NM?
I didn't say it's perfect (note: I'm also one of those still using if*
scripts). I'm just contesting that "it's a daemon" is an insurmountable
problem.
If the other stuff you mentioned were fixed, and NM could be run in
'setup-and-exit' mode (as opposed to daemon mode), would that make it an
adequate replacement in server environments?
