Obviously that this action has been > done for stupid users. Yes, a user can do anything with ifconfig if his time has no value. I am happily using network manager on my laptop, because unlike ifconfig it's easy to configure for use on new wireless networks. I am not happy that network manager bypasses ifconfig to do this; I would have much preferred a daemon that could properly integrate with the existing infrastructure we had. But neither that, nor you calling me a stupid user, is much motivation for me to go back to the pain of managing wireless connections via ifupdown. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
