Is there any work going on to get support for the freedesktop.org HAL specification (http://wiki.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fhal)? It seems that there are quite a few programs that would benefit from this. Is there a technical reason why this hasn't been implemented yet, or is the reason simply lack of developers? I realize that the port would probably be fairly difficult to make.
The reason I'm asking is that on linux I can use this really wonderful program called NetworkManager which manages network connection (Who would have guessed?). Unfortunately it requires fd.o HAL so using it under OpenBSD is currently impossible. Is there any alternative for OpenBSD which supports network roaming and such? -- Stefan Parviainen
