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 /etc/net provides support for the following interface types: Ethernet WiFi (WEP/WPA) IPv4/IPv6 tunnels PSK IPSec tunnels VLAN PLIP Ethernet bonding and bridging traffic equalizer usbnet PPP (PPtP, PPPoE, GPRS) DVB (SkyStar-2, Pent@NET, Pent@VALUE) Bluetooh (BNEP) OpenVPN 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 (abandoned).
