That depends on which distro you're using, and how complete its network management is. 2008.x is using ConnMan which is an attempt at a lighter weight version of NetworkManager, but it seems rather incomplete. I think FSO is sticking with the basic debian-based interface using /etc/network/interfaces which mostly works according to the debian networking handbook. IIRC the bits needed for roaming connections are missing though. Debian and Gentoo use their respective networking practices. NetworkManager is another option. The key is to pick one method and stick to it - mixing them usually ends up in them fighting for control of the interfaces. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
