Subject: [gentoo-soc] Gentoo NetworkManager Plug-in Weekly Report #4

1 This week I fixed two bugs and made a little improvement
2
3 * Fixed a bug when dealing with default wep key
4 * fixed a bug when dealing with global setting
5 * Improved hex and ASCII key differentiating
6
7 Several people are confused with baselayout/openrc init scripts when
8 using NetworkManager. I will write an article to explain their
9 relationship and how to make them work together.
10
11 Robert and I have talked about our next plan. Currently the most
12 important part of the plug-in has been implemented. But there's still
13 many things we could do.
14
15 Because Gentoo is moving to /etc/conf.d/network, I will try to make the
16 plug-in compatible with it. When the migration is completed, I hope this
17 plug-in will work properly without further modification. But I find
18 there's little documentation about it. The only one I find is
19 /etc/conf.d/network and it seems that it's not a complete one.
20
21 I hope I could push this project to upstream NetworkManager and I chose
22 GPLv2 which is compatible with NetworkManager. I will contact Dan when
23 our plug-in is stable enough. Certainly there may be several good advice
24 from him and further improvement will be made then.
