I realize this has been discussed and there are definite opinions about |
4 |
which method works well. So, I want to take a different approach. |

Is there any interest in documenting and supporting newnet along side |
7 |
oldnet as opposed to killing newnet? |

Newnet would consist of the "network" init script to set up your |
10 |
loopback interface along with something like dhcpcd, networkmanager, |
11 |
or wicd (and wpa_supplicant for wireless interfaces) running in |
12 |
standalone mode to manage your other interfaces. |
13 |
|
14 |
My understanding of the way newnet works is that the big advantage would |
15 |
come for workstations that have a simple network setup and where users |
16 |
would want hotplugged interfaces to just work. |

Any thoughts? |
