Hi folks! Some time ago I proposed some specific networking release criteria. I revived the thread back in February, and meeting discussion suggested we should be more intentional and specific about wifi requirements. So, looking at it again, I suggest adding an additional footnote: Footnote titled "Wireless networks": Common wireless network configurations using supported hardware as defined above are covered by this criterion. This includes access to home and enterprise wireless networks using 802.11 series connection protocols and WPA2 and WPA3 personal and enterprise security protocols. Bugs that are specific to particular hardware or configurations will be assessed according to [[Blocker_Bug_FAQ|hardware-dependent-issues|the normal considerations for such issues]]. Here is the full proposal again, with the new footnote included: ##### === Network requirements === Each of these requirements apply to both installer and installed system environments. For any given installer environment, the 'default network configuration tools' are considered to be those the installer documents as supported ways to configure networking (e.g. for anaconda-based environments, configuration via kernel command line options, a kickstart, or interactively in anaconda itself are included). ==== Basic networking ==== It must be possible to establish both IPv4 and IPv6 network connections using both typical router-provided addressing systems (e.g. DHCP on IPv4 or SLAAC or IPv6) and static addressing. The default network configuration tools for the console, for release-blocking desktops and for installer environments must work well enough to allow typical network connection configuration operations without major workarounds. Standard network functions such as address resolution and connections with common protocols such as ping, HTTP and ssh must work as expected. Footnote titled "Supported hardware": Supported network hardware is hardware for which the Fedora kernel includes drivers and, where necessary, for which a firmware package is available. If support for a commonly-used piece or type of network hardware that would usually be present is omitted, that may constitute a violation of this criterion, after consideration of the [[Blocker_Bug_FAQ|hardware-dependent- issues|normal factors for hardware-dependent issues]]. Similarly, violations of this criteria that are hardware or configuration dependent are, as usual, subject to consideration of those factors when determining whether they are release-blocking. Footnote titled "Wireless networks": Common wireless network configurations using supported hardware as defined above are covered by this criterion. This includes access to home and enterprise wireless networks using 802.11 series connection protocols and WPA2 and WPA3 personal and enterprise security protocols. Bugs that are specific to particular hardware or configurations will be assessed according to [[Blocker_Bug_FAQ|hardware-dependent-issues|the normal considerations for such issues]]. ==== VPN connections ==== Using the default network configuration tools for the console and for release-blocking desktops, it must be possible to establish a working connection to common OpenVPN, openconnect-supported and vpnc-supported VPN servers with typical configurations. Footnote titled "Supported servers and configurations": As there are many different VPN server applications and configurations, blocker reviewers must use their best judgment in determining whether violations of this criterion are likely to be encountered commonly enough to block a release, and if so, at which milestone. As a general principle, the more people are likely to use affected servers and the less complicated the configuration required to hit the bug, the more likely it is to be a blocker. ##### Any more thoughts, comments, adjustments etc?
