Hi all,
I would like to revive a proposal that I have made a while ago, regarding
a framework for managing network interfaces. I called it wicked at that time,
and it's still called that way, but because of potential confusion with WICD
I'll probably change the name soonishly.
This project has been going on for a while now, and is getting into a more
presentable shape.
Given the breadth and the width of the whole topic, I won't be able to
cover all aspects of the system in one email - instead, I want to give you
my perspective on why I think we need something new, and what it should
look like from my point of view.
While I my original motivation in working on this is from a SUSE perspective,
I believe other Linux distributions can benefit from this as well, and I'd
be happy to work on this cross-distribution.
Your feedback is very much welcome!
Regards,
Olaf
