NetworkManager has been bumped to a 0.7 SVN snapshot. What's Awesome ---------------------------- * Faster connections * Kill kill kill dhcdbdbddbbdbdbbdbd * More reliable wireless connections * Doesn't mash together wireless networks with the same SSID (but different security, bands, or modes) * Richer, saner D-Bus API (including introspection) What Will Be Awesome in F8 (or soon thereafter) ----------------------------------------------- * Static IPs (more than one if you like!) * Custom DNS servers and search domains * Better support for all the wireless security modes * Multiple active device support (Internet connection sharing, woohoo!) * A solid API and infrastructure to add stuff like Bluetooth DUN, Bluetooth PAN, cellular broadband cards, etc * Get connected when the system boots and don't have to wait for login What's Busted Right Now (but will be fixed ASAP) ------------------------------------------------ * Does not support WEP passphrases * Does not support WPA[2] Enterprise, IEEE801.X (Dynamic WEP), or LEAP * Does not support hidden networks * Does not autoconnect to last wireless network * OpenVPN VPN plugin busted * SELinux Enforcing mode is rocky -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
