NetworkManager now offers hotspot functionality, allowing users to easily share a non-wireless connection over a wireless interface. As of F19, NetworkManager allows the creation and usage of both bridge and bond virtual devices. These features should be documented in the System Administrator's guide. --Pete
Thank you, Pete. Stephen, you might want to take a look at this feature request when you have a minute.
Hi Stephen, another quick observation for you. There's a note reading: "At the time of writing, NetworkManager does not detect IP aliases in ifcfg files. For example, if ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth0:1 files are present, NetworkManager creates two connections, which will cause confusion. " I'm reasonably confident that NetworkManager now obeys address directives in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-devname. I *think* that .../ifcfg-devname:0 style aliases are not supported, but successfully ignored.
Hello Pete Re comment 0 1] "hotspot functionality" We tried to document this before, here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537739 I will test again soon. I need to test a few other Wi-Fi things. 2] Bridge http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Networking_Guide/ch-Configure_Network_Bridging.html I need to update the screenshot, the bridge priority was incorrect at 128, should be 32768. It is fixed in NetworkManager-0.9.9.1-4.git20140313.el7, which is in Rawhide already. 3] Bond http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/Networking_Guide/ch-Configure_Network_Bonding.html Re comment 2 This is now in the Reference Guide: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/System_Administrators_Reference_Guide/sect-networkscripts-interfaces.html#sect-networkscripts-interfaces-alias I will ask someone to confirm that while reviewing that chapter.
I'm closing this bug as part of a Bugzilla cleanup effort. The most likely reason is that the bug has been opened either against a component we no longer publish, or against Release Notes for an EOL release.
