Hi there, Which is a minimal required Linux kernel version and udev/eudev version required to run NetworkManager 1.0? The only info about dependency I found is in LFS doc [1], but it does not say anything about the kernel. As udev version is somehow dependent on kernel I suppose any udev running on supported kernel should be suitable, isn't it? Commit [2] from seems to require kernel >= 3.15-rc5, on the other hand there are some attempts to support older kernels [3].
AFAIK, there is no known minimal kernel-version (or minimal required feature-set). NM will try to accommodate to missing features and should mostly should work -- of course, certain features might then not be available (such as [2]). IPv6 private addresses on older kernels without IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR flag will not work.
And how about gcc build dependency?
I don't know, we make use of some GCC features (destructor and cleanup attributes). But those should be around for a long time... Try it and send a bug-report :)
Thanks a lot for any info.
