netcfg 2.8.2 has been moved to [core]. It has been six months since netcfg had an update, so it accumulated quite some changes. Here is a shortlist.
- Configuration has moved out of
rc.conf. Please move your configuration to/etc/conf.d/netcfg. - Connection types ending in
-old,-dbusand-iprouteare discontinued. Remove the suffix if you still have it: you didn't need it. - Systemd is now supported for single profile, multiple profile, automatic wired and automatic wireless connections.
- For your basic wifi needs, you can now use the bundled
wifi-menutool. It is a dialog based connection aid inspired by wifi-select. - Disconnecting an interface is no longer done through
-i. The new parameter is-D. Reconnecting an interface is possible through-R. - There is a new connection type: PPPoE.
