What's the story on this "wifi0" "sit0" stuff, btw?
wifi* is people who do their own thing for some reason. Its an 802.* device
so eth* would have made more sense. sit0 is the 6 in 4 tunnel device.
In an ideal system, you might have a file (probably in /var) that
defines the autoprobe results; you have a config file (in /etc) that is
It can't be in /var because /var can be NFS mounted. Detail only.
I don't think we're that far from this now. hwconf is the
autoprobe
results for example. kudzu seems to also look at the manual-edited files
though. I guess what I'm saying is have some default behavior as a
function of autoprobe results, and view the manual-edited files as
override of the defaults - then machine-writing defaults into the
manual-edited files isn't necessary.
Makes sense.
