New network management scripts?

Hi,
Been thinking about adding some features to netcfg lately (namely auto-connect for wireless profiles and auto-mount of network shares available for said profile). However, I've encountered numerous information about a new network profile management system (whatever it is called) coming our way in 0.8. So, my question is: where can I get it? I'd like to try it out and maybe hack around it to add functionality I need. Anyone could point me to the source code/package/pkgbuild/mailing-list entry?

Well; if it's true and there's a new network profile management system is coming, does it support PPPOE connections so that we can fire it up with the network profile without having to load the adsl daemon ?

Re: New network management scripts?

yep. I've been working on them.

currently they just need fixing up and testing.

- yes they "support" pppoe. I don't have a pppoe connection available to test, so it probably doesnt work yet.

neuro: they include those features you want in various forms.

Cool

I'd like to beta-test the new scripts, if its possible. Could help out with any bugs found. Is there any way of getting these?

Good. wireless and ethernet have been reasonably tested, just gotta give a few more areas testing and clean them up.

Re: New network management scripts?

Will it replace the existing network scripts ?

I guess so.

iphitus: When can we expect the new scripts to be available? If they are usable (ethernet + wifi), could you please upload them somewhere for testing? I'd much appreciate that.
