Many of you have eagerly been awaiting the release of NetworkManager 0.8.1. Well, it’s not completely done yet, but a first beta release just hit the mirrors about 12 hours ago.<\/p>\n
I’m proud to announce that there are already packages for openSUSE available thanks to our great openSUSE Build Service. Packages exist currently for openSUSE 11.2 and openSUSE Factory.
\nA warning first: I did not even install the packages yet! So they might or might not work at all.<\/p>\n
So, what is the nice new feature we all want from 0.8.1?<\/p>\n
BT-DUN -> Dial-up Networking over Bluetooth connections! Yes, NM 0.8.1 should bring this and one as such there is one less action to be done on the console (currently I have to resort to wvdial to get my BT phone to work as a ‘modem’ for me…).<\/p>\n
The repositories for the brave ones:
\nfor openSUSE 11.2: http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/dimstar:\/NetworkManager-0.8.1\/openSUSE_11.2
\nfor openSUSE Factory: http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/repositories\/home:\/dimstar:\/NetworkManager-0.8.1\/openSUSE_Factory<\/p>\n
Any comments regarding the packages are welcome, either here or in the various openSUSE Mailing-lists. Bug reports, as usual, can be submitted to bugzilla.novell.com.<\/p>\n
PS: No, this will not fly into openSUSE 11.3. The repos are version and feature frozen and adding a beta of an upcoming release would just call for trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
