?
man nmcli
No manual entry for nmcli
But this is just because I haven't network-manager installed :-)
To tell the true story, I'm rather happy with net-tools. I just
noticed long ago that network-manager was messing up what I configured
with net-tools, and it didn't bring any benefit. Therefore it became the
first package I systematically removed right after a Debian install.
I have configured servers with several ethernet interfaces to
different LANs, including some with interface bonding. On laptops, I
have wifi roaming with many different wifi stations recorded, and
automatic connection to the present station, with priority to Ethernet
when plugged in. Everything simple, logical, automatic, and the way
everyone wants it, and I don't need neither nm nor wicd for that. I
can't see any improvement I would need, except a simpler configuration,
and except that, as from ASCII, the init script deserves a little hack.
If somedy finds a system which does as well or even better and/or
is easier to configure, I might try it, but, for the moment, I see on
this list that nm and wicd are a major source of problems. But, after
all, maybe all these complains will find their way upstream and this
will help to improve wicd and make it become a good solution.
