Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am orphaning the laptop-net package. I no longer use this package and no longer have the time nor inclination to give it the care it needs. Before adopting the package, be aware that NetworkManager does some but not all of the same things, and it might make sense to subsume laptop-net functionality within NetworkManager.
The package description is: The laptop-net package supports the built-in Ethernet of laptops by providing several integrated features that automatically adapt the laptop to the network environment. The package is easily configured to support a wide variety of network environments, and supports manual as well as automatic management of the network interface. . Laptop-net can automatically: start and stop the network interface at appropriate times; disable the network interface when the network cable is removed, and enable it when the cable is inserted; select the network interface's IP address, either by probing the network for known hosts or by use of the DHCP protocol; customize the laptop's software configuration to match the network interface's IP address. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
