This entire thread seems to have different terminology used by different |
23 |
posters, causing me some confusion. So perhaps a few questions: |
24 |
|
25 |
(1) What is "the new network stack" provided by the newnet USE flag? |
26 |
|
27 |
(2) Why is dhcpcd referred to as a "network manager" in the same context as |
28 |
wicd, networkmanager, connman, etc? In the sense that dhcpcd is not sufficient |
29 |
for security protected wireless alone, as is, say, wicd; and is not a |
30 |
replacement for true "network manager" apps. DHCP client != network manager |
31 |
app |
32 |
|
33 |
(3) Is udhcpc provided by busybox not sufficient in lieu of dhcpcd for stage3? |
34 |
|

Thanks for your explanation(s). |
