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. Regards, - Jouke On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 16:07, Auguste Pop <auguste@gmail.com> wrote:
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,
