Re: Proposal: NetworkManager for GNOME 2.18.

["Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D." <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

NetworkManager requires a patched version of dhcp which may not be
available on some distros. David Cantrell, the current maintainer of
NetworkManager, has been working to persuade ISC 

        http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/dhcp/

to accept and integrate the necessary changes into the dhcp source.  I
do not know at this point whether or not David has succeeded.

Suggestion:

        Include only the NetworkManager applet in GNOME-2.18.
        
If a disto provides NetworkManager, the applet will find it and use it.
If not, no harm is done.



Thoughts???
