Bug ID: 977063 Summary: New NetworkManager features should be documented Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: system-administrator's-guide Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Assignee: jhradile@redhat.com Reporter: me@petetravis.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: jhradile@redhat.com
NetworkManager now offers hotspot functionality, allowing users to easily share a non-wireless connection over a wireless interface.
As of F19, NetworkManager allows the creation and usage of both bridge and bond virtual devices.
These features should be documented in the System Administrator's guide.

--- Comment #2 from Pete Travis me@petetravis.com --- Hi Stephen, another quick observation for you.
There's a note reading: "At the time of writing, NetworkManager does not detect IP aliases in ifcfg files. For example, if ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth0:1 files are present, NetworkManager creates two connections, which will cause confusion. "
I'm reasonably confident that NetworkManager now obeys address directives in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-devname. I *think* that .../ifcfg-devname:0 style aliases are not supported, but successfully ignored.

Re comment 0
1] "hotspot functionality" We tried to document this before, here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537739
I will test again soon. I need to test a few other Wi-Fi things.
2] Bridge http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Netw...
I need to update the screenshot, the bridge priority was incorrect at 128, should be 32768. It is fixed in NetworkManager-0.9.9.1-4.git20140313.el7, which is in Rawhide already.
3] Bond http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Netw...
Re comment 2
This is now in the Reference Guide: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Syst...
I will ask someone to confirm that while reviewing that chapter.
