Every tools has it pro's and con's. And once in a while the developers do answer your prayers.... I was told it would appear in next SLES-release (it's already on the OBS)

TT1375 - Wicked Network Management
Olaf Kirch - Director SUSE Linux Enterprise, SUSE Matthias Eckermann , SUSE
For two decades the network configuration on Linux Servers has been done using configuration files and scripts. While there is nothing wrong with this approach in general (more the opposite, as we all know), it maxed out: virtual LANs, virtualization, bridging, bonding, IPv6, wired and wireless, ... combined with the requirement to change configurations dynamically, have pushed the classical approach almost to its limits. And NetworkManager did not manage the more complex of those, specifically in arbitrary combinations. The ''wicked'' project (http://gitorious.org/wicked/) tackles the challenges by implementing a dynamic infrastructure, combining a service daemon with dbus integration and a plug-in framework, the option to store configuration persistently, and interfaces to import existing script based static configuration of major Linux distributions into its wicked world.
That's fantastic! Seems like I've been hearing about wicked for years. I'd love to see it as the 13.2 killer feature. All by itself we would cause a lot of openSUSE excitement throughout the linux user world. === questions Is it installable in 13.1? Does it have cli and gui front-ends? Is it in factory? Is yast wicked aware? Is it an option as default for 13.2? Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
