Hi!
First of all thanks for your interest Stano.

Pikota is working on the patches. We will send them as soon as possible.

Well, in Debian there are configuration files like in SuSE. In SuSE you
have the configuration splitted in files for devices:

regensburg:/mnt/pruebas/etc/sysconfig/network# cat ifcfg-lo
# Loopback (lo) configuration
IPADDR=3D127.0.0.1
NETMASK=3D255.0.0.0
NETWORK=3D127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=3D127.255.255.255
STARTMODE=3Donboot
USERCONTROL=3Dno

regensburg:/mnt/pruebas/etc/sysconfig/network# cat ifcfg-eth-id-00\:00
\:f0\:7e\:52\:9d
BOOTPROTO=3D'static'
BROADCAST=3D'10.0.255.255'
IPADDR=3D'10.0.0.4'
MTU=3D''
NETMASK=3D'255.255.0.0'
NETWORK=3D'10.0.0.0'
REMOTE_IPADDR=3D''
STARTMODE=3D'auto'
UNIQUE=3D'B35A.XdVfcalqCj9'
USERCONTROL=3D'no'
_nm_name=3D'bus-pci-0000:02:00.0'

And in debian you have just one file:
regensburg:/etc/network# cat interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
auto eth0
iface eth1 inet dhcp

iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.4
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        gateway 10.0.0.1

But basically is playing with files although I suppose it will be more
than that ;-)

Anyways I agree that it's not an easy module.

Sure, Pikota has got the nfs module working as well.

Thanks again Stano!

Grusse,
