If they are still there, shouldn't we support them? One option might be to add another package to crda.spec. That package (e.g. crda-init) could simply include an init script that looks a lot like the script I posted earlier in the thread. It might also provide for a user override (e.g. something in /etc/sysconfig/regdomain). Simple, optional, and very little work. Listen, I'm all for NetworkManager figuring this stuff out on my box. But I'd like a better answer than "roll your own" for those who want to use something else. John -- John W.
