Whats the functionality that you are missing ?
We've had a number of requests for the pseudo-graphical hand-holding
network configuration editing functionality of system-config-tui in the
past few years. That's what nmcli is missing right now.
The plan of record for F19 (though not yet in a Feature Page) is to
enhance nmcli to provide most of this functionality, but we won't be
doing that with ncurses the way system-config-tui does. I'd expect this
new feature to replace most all of the use-cases that system-config-tui
is useful for, so perhaps we should shelve this for another month or two
until we have a better idea of when the nmcli stuff will land?
