hi folks with permission of Tollef i rewrite the netcfg package. currently only the static part is finished. the changelog say: | - rewrite of netcfg-static | + use iproute | - remove unneeded pointopoint address | - add ipv6 support | + save config of each interface in the debconf db it needs some support from the other package: - new udeb for iproute (only the ip bin) or - ip plugin for busybox and - register/unregister support for cdebconf currently it only works with the old debconf on a real system. another change is up for discussion, rename netcfg-dhcp into netcfg-dynamic, because it is possible to configure ipv6 with dhcp6 (i don't know any programs for this) or with stateless address autoconfiguration which doesn't need further userspace support. bastian
