Dear Auguste,

This inconsistency has been dealt with in the next version of netcfg, but thanks for the observation! The wiki does indeed need updating.

hi,

i noticed a minor inconsistency between the two daemons. net-auto-wireless can read WIRELESS_INTERFACE from /etc/conf.d/netcfg, while net-auto-wired only recognize WIRED_INTERFACE from /etc/rc.conf. wifi-select also insists that WIRELESS_INTERFACE be set in /etc/rc.conf.

the wiki page of netcfg "correctly" instructs users to set WIRELESS_INTERFACE in /etc/conf.d/netcfg, and WIRED_INTERFACE in /etc/rc.conf, but the fact that such two similar named and seemingly similar usage daemons from same project use different configuration files itself is somewhat wired and un-intuitive.

would it be better to unify the configuration file among netcfg related utilities and daemons?

thank you for your kind attention.

best regards,

thank you for your information. good day!~
