I'm sorry I don't already know the answer, but I was wondering if you
proposed system supported the following features. IMHO, these
features are *required* for any re-work of the network configuration system:
* integrates with PCMCIA stuff (i.e., /etc/pcmcia/network.opts)
* allows for roving profiles (mobile computers)
* allows/enables large-scale configuration managment (i.e.,
server-side control of client network values, i.e., DHCPd et al)
