The changes in this release: - Remove driver specific hacks/quirks, and require them to be opt-in via config option - Separate automagic connection code from net-profiles - Fix various bugs - Add option to run iwconfig with whatever arguments before connecting (all wireless setups) More details on the netcfg2 git branch on [projects.archlinux.org][1] Documentation for the changes can be found on the [Network Profiles development][2] wiki page.
