networkctl/README.md

networkctl

This software replaces networkmanager.

Usage:

networkctl up
networkctl down
networkctl list

# simulate the network start: print every command
networkctl -s up

# choose software to use instead of the auto-detected ones
networkctl -n ip -d udhcpc up

# start a single interface
networkctl up eth0

tested on

• Linux: ifconfig, ip, dhclient, iw, wpa_supplicant
• Busybox: busybox (ifconfig, ip, udhcpc), iw, wpa_supplicant
• OpenBSD: ifconfig, dhclient

todo

1. bugfix with ifconfig: aliasses create a new interface, they are not put down
2. wifi (iw, ifconfig, wpa_supplicant...)
3. better cli: networkctl (up|down|list) interface, and searching in /etc for network files by default
4. wifi reconnection on error
5. launching arbitrary code with the "!command" syntax
6. bridge
7. vlan
8. (linux only) network namespaces
