Hmm; that forces everyone who does not use dnsmasq has to reconfigure from our own defaults to get the standard defaults one knows from every other linux distribution. Don't know what's easier to understand for users. Otherwise in our standard setup it "just" works regardless if its dhcpcd or pppoe... not bad. I guess something to put into TRAC for later. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
