Re: NetworkManager 0.7

Regarding 0.7, I'm gradually learning more about it. I think it adds Wireless Broadband and DSL capabilities, so if you REQUIRE those capabilities, 0.7 is your choice, although 0.7 seems to be a rather early work-in-progress, so expect a rocky road for awhile.

The thing that concerns me is that the pptp plugin for 0.7 is barely recognizable from 0.6 and has several show-stoppers, depending on who you are; for me, the show-stoppers were the inability to set refuse-eap and setting the routing, so that only SOME of the traffic goes through the pptp tunnel.

Due to this and many other problems with NM 0.7, it seems that we have Regression Potential here, but that would be a problem for those who require 0.7 because they require some of the new features such as Wireless Broadband and DSL. I'm stumped, because it just seems that we've moved ahead to 0.7 and can't regress without hurting the people using/requiring the new features and device types in 0.7.
