So it took more than a few days, but it’s in [testing].

The changes in this release:

netcfg v2.1.0 beta 2

• Remove driver specific hacks/quirks, and require them to be opt-in via config option
• Separate automagic connection code from net-profiles
• Fix various bugs (not all flyspray reports have been closed yet, will do tomorrow)
• Add option to run iwconfig with whatever arguments before connecting (all wireless setups)

More details on the netcfg2 git branch on projects.archlinux.org

Documentation for the changes is found on the Network Profiles development wiki page.

The plan from here?

Rather than going for a big change like jumping right to netcfg3 I’ll work on incremental releases.

My aim for this release is to focus on compatibility and getting everything working well as support for many drivers and configurations seems to be sucking now. After I’ve acheived  that to a reasonable standard I’ll move onto 2.2, where I’ll move to a wpa_supplicant and iputils based setup.
