For the next release I suggest we seriously consider using Network Manager on the instal medium. nmcli seems to cover most relevant use cases now.
I was thinking about this when systemd replaced initscripts.
+1 for me. Can we talk about pruning out some of the weight from the ISO before we add another 20MB via NM and dependencies? We'd need to add, roughly:
dbus-glib glib-networking gsettings-desktop-schemas libsoup nspr nss polkit sqlite networkmanager
Not really a fan of network manager, but I don't really deal with the headaches that come with wifi so often. Is nmcli more than just a config file parser these days?
NetworkManager would work quite well for us. The deps look a little insane though. I don't know why it would need libsoup and Gnome stuff.
If adding NM is the deemed The Right Thing To Do™ then fine, but I'd like to make sure that it's actually valuable. Last I looked, using nmcli meant handwriting config files which had no documented syntax.
I would say we keep things as-is for at least the February ISO image.
Very much agreed. d
