While I toyed with your proposal, I feel it just pushes the problem
out of the daemon code - we would still need to write distro
specific
scripts. If this approach is something that everybody is
comfortable
with, I can take a stab at implementing that.
Until NetworkManager is feature complete and until every distro is
using
NetworkManager per default the kvp_daemon needs distro specific code
to
get and set network related settings.
Doing it with an external script will simplify debugging and changes
to
the code.
Although, Network Manager is a good tool for what it does;
it is not appropriate for every distro. It is overkill
in embedded systems, and it's GUI dependency makes it unmanageable
on servers.
