Hello,
Hi Thomas!
the features firewalld-default and network-zones will be postponed for Fedora-17. The features are not ready yet and also the integration into other projects. The network zone backend in NetworkManager is making progress, but the front ends are not done yet.
Without the front ends (nm-applet, gnome-shell, kdenetworkmanager) the features are not usable and firewalld as the default firewall solution does not make sense either.
What's needed to be implemented in kde-nm to support firewalld? Are you in touch with upstream or it's upon us :)
the support for network zones needs to be added to kde-nm and the other frontends as soon as the NetworkManager backend is ready and functional. There is no support for firewalld needed in the frontends; the NM backend is dealing with firewalld.
Here is a list of proposed changes for the frontends:
- A dialog to define the default network zones for wired and wireless connections for initial setup and also for configuration changes. - A zone selector for active connections in the primary UI. - A zone selector in the connection editor. - A way to enable and disable network zone support (by backend).
But this is still to discuss - the where and how and look and feel.

Thanks, Thomas
PS: I should ask Jiri, as he sits in same cubicle ;-)
The firewalld zone code will be integrated into firewalld shortly, but will be deactivated by default. This needs some more work also. The NetworkManager zone code will be sent upstream to initiate the integration process.
Thanks in advance, Thomas Wörner Jiri Popelka
