Yes, you're right. Please take a look at the mailing list archive and
search for a thread with the subject "RFC: new network config". It was
started by me thinking the same as you.
Back then (mid-march ?) I even wrote some scripts (attached) but they never
got included into some package because they were not perfect and I have no
chance to make them so.
The reason is that we decided that if we introduce a new scheme of network
configuration we have to do a "right thing" that supports dhcp, pcmcia,
ethernet, tokenring, dialup and everything you can configure in your
network. Needless to say that noone feld able to do that :-(
So If you or anybody want to do something better than the scripts now,
maybe take a look at the attached scripts, improve them and propose them
to the community and the maintainer of netbase.
Good luck
