Inspired by the limitations of traditional network configuration subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for configuration profiles, interface name management, removable devices, full iproute2 command set, interface dependencies resolution, QoS and firewall configuration frameworks. /etc/net provides support for the following interface types: Ethernet, WiFi (WEP), IPv4/IPv6 tunnels, PSK IPSec tunnels, VLAN, PLIP, Ethernet bonding and bridging, traffic equalizer, Pent@NET, Pent@VALUE, SkyStar-2, TUN/TAP, OpenVPN TUN/TAP, OpenSSH TUN/TAP, usbnet and PPP. Due to its modular structure, support for new interface types can be added without overall design changes. http://git.altlinux.org/people/sbolshakov/packages/?p=etcnet.git It's used by ALTLinux since aug-2004 -- «Allá muevan feroz guerra, ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes. Y no hay playa, sea cualquiera, ni bandera de esplendor, que no sienta mi derecho y dé pecho a mi valor.» -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
