That would be nice. In a perfect world (hah!), replacing "ifup" and "ifdown" with scripts that just make the appropriate "nmcli" (or whatever) calls would be awesome, as long as NM supports all the old functionality. > There are significant advantages to having a single code path for network > configuration on the system -- easier support, simpler documenation, easier > administration between multiple systems, easier development of new > distribution features overall.

That would be cool; I understand reducing methods reduces support overhead. Please don't take my email as throwing stones; I was trying to _not_ do that, just point out why in some situations sysadmins sometimes avoid NM. I understand that the old-style network scripts are a maze of twisty little passages, all different, and trying to replace all the functionality that people use is not trivial. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
