Hello Roy,

I tried to find some information regarding the new networking, there is
not changelog and not readme...

I kind of liked the old networking... I managed to support a lot of
configuration
without having to determine the low level commands.

The new networking, may be simpler to implement, but for users it is much
more difficult to manage.

Let's take the bridge for example... Users should now understand the brctl
command...

ppp is another example of lost functionality.

Where are we going in this regard? What is the vision? Ease of use
or ease of implementation? *BSD or Linux?

Thanks!
Alon
