[arch-projects] inconsistency between net-auto-wireless and net-auto-wired
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,
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:
