I don't get it. Laptops are portable. Don't you ever go out of your house? If you control everything you can easily tell your dhcp server what IP to give it when you are there. > The current NetworkManager design isn’t unequivocally wrong.

What would drive CentOS instead? I'd argue that splitting the community into separate groups - one that likes the design of unix/linux and runs large numbers of servers because they like it, and one that would really rather have a windows desktop for their only machine was the wrong thing to do in the first place. And having broken the community, letting the group that doesn't like the product in the first place control the design is probably a bad thing too. Red Hat wasn't that bad back when the people using it contributed directly to its development and were able to use the result. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
