/etc/net 0.9.8

/etc/net represents a new approach to Linux network configuration tasks. Inspired by the limitations of traditional configuration subsystems, /etc/net provides builtin support for:

- configuration profiles
- interface name management
- removable devices
- full iproute2 command set
- interface dependencies resolution
- QoS configuration framework
- firewall support (NEW)

/etc/net provides support for the following interface types:

- Ethernet
- WiFi (WEP)
- IPv4/IPv6 tunnels
- PSK IPSec tunnels
- VLAN
- PLIP
- Ethernet bonding and bridging
- traffic equalizer
- usbnet
- PPP (PPtP, PPPoE)

Due to its modular design, support for new interface types can be added without overall design changes. /etc/net consists of core scripts (stable) and GUI configurator (development). Both parts are licensed under GPL.
