Hi,
Hi Gerhard, it is nice to hear from you after such a long time :) Yeah, no more R.I.P (rest in pieces), or: "Auferstanden aus Ruinen..." ;-)
our current default wireless framework in base /e/rc.d/network script is iwconfig (Open/WEP only). I like to integrate wpa_supplicant as easy as we could use iwconfig ATM.
All existing features should be ported to netcfg, and new features will only be added there. Again, lack of time prevents me from doing that too - but it's the plan.
Ok, i'm fine with. Have used netcfg last before ~2 years or so, it is currently much better. I will have a deeper look next weeks (on the bridging part, maybe i could add VPN support on that easy way...)
Back to the topic of wireless: netcfg's net-auto-wireless mode is my favorite and works perfectly for me.
Yes, also together with net-auto-wired it works fine. I'm only not sure if i use network-profile seperate configs or better go with wireless-wpa-config ("static" /e/wpa_supplicant.conf) cause i often use wpa_gui with option to update the config. Also i will use different "actions" based on different DHCP server's and/or MAC addresses found by the active devices. But this seams also possible (without more work than one need for ifplugd as single tool...) Regards Gerhard
