Idea #12482: Better nework confiuration tool

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #4: Provide a simple graphical interface to manage _any_ type of network connection.
Written by ArdyFalls the 23 Aug 08 at 22:26. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Status: New
Rationale
Recent releases have added changes to make seamless networking work. As a result, setup of more complicated services such as ldap have become more difficult. For example, on 8.04, knetworkmanager likes to bring up the Ethernet connection after the user logs in, thus causing issues with LDAP which needs to connect to the LDAP server before the user logs in.

dupe, I vote this down, because I'm too lazy tonight to search by myself.

(yes, it's cheap)

But it's still a good idea.

...though the particular example sounds more like a bug...

I had a similar idea a few days ago I just submitted. I feel the best approach is adding plugin support to Network-manager. This way we can improve it, and change its behaviors as we wish!

Ubuntu 8.10 comes with a new version of Network-Manager (0.7) which is more powerful and better.
