Feature changed by: Li Bin (BinLi) Feature #309702, revision 13 Title: Make NetworkManager better Hackweek VII: New Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.4: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2010-11-04 14:52:56 reject reason: see comment. Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Li Bin (binli) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There are several features in NetworkManager, I wanna focus one or two * VPN autoconnect (?) ( bgo #349151 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349151) , bgo #560471 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560471) ) * Interface bonding support ( bgo #540995 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540995) ) * Bridge interface support ( bgo #546197 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546197) ) * Local caching nameserver support * PPPoE over WiFi (http://live.gnome.org/WiFi) support ( bgo #559134 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559134) ) * Connection time and traffic tracking ( bgo #601372 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601372) ) * VPN connections in the top-level applet menu First I wanna hack the VPN autoconnect for NetworkManager. Discussion: #1: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) (2010-06-18 02:25:20) I'd love to see the Bridge interface support because of kvm and xen, but largely kvm. #2: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2010-11-04 14:52:42) Please get them into upstream networkmanager and we can then do an update of that for 11.4. I mark it as reject since we will take what comes from upstream. #3: Martin Seidler (pistazienfresser) (2011-01-25 12:54:23) I added the Hackweek VI patten just as an proposal - hope I was allowed to do so.. I think in the wireless forum on http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/wireless/ (http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/wireless/) and other sub-fora are probably many threads related to the networkmanager or the knetworkmanager (even if mostly their about driver issues), like: - VPN Connection PPTP (http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/get-technical-help-here/network-in...) - Tag:PPPoE (http://forums.opensuse.org/tags/pppoe.html) #4: Bruno Friedmann (bruno_friedmann) (2011-07-26 15:44:17) Li if you can as a dessert, add ipv6 and it's configuration system-wide (systctl -a | grep ipv6 ) to the menu. :-) + #5: Li Bin (binli) (2011-10-18 12:51:51) + now there are a guy submit part of patches for bonding support. I + analyzed the patches and found to support the bonding, the first step + is let ifcfg-suse plugin support to read the configuration file + (/etc/sysconfig/network/*), I'm just working on this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309702
