[opensuse-factory] Network profiles in NetworkManager
An interesting enhancement, which seems to be already present in Fedora, was suggested by a user (psp250) in IRC. NetworkManager at the moment is able to connect to manage only a single static IP, and if static DNS are specified, it's unable to update them when it connects to a dynamic network. The suggestion is to: * Make NM able to manage more configurations for the same network card (for example, if the wireless card is used to connect to different AP's, some with fixed configurations, some with dynamic ones). * Make NM able to manage static and dynamic DNS without having to change the settings in Yast.

Do you know how Fedora is doing it?

So both of these are planned, better than that we have an idea on how to automatically detect location so NM does the right thing automatically. Robert or Tambet can explain that better than I. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Unfortunately not. The user who suggested the improvement just talked about the capability to manage different configurations. He guessed Fedora stores the different configurations and NM calls ifup instead of dhcp only in a transparent way to the user. Sorry for the lack of precision.
