<pre>Introduction: many laptop are used in several different environment that need
to change network parameters quite frequently.
This task was well accomplished by "netprofile", a very useful tool that
changed quite a lot of settings (urpmi, proxy, firewall, services and so on) in
a single action.
Now we can split request in three:
1) how to open netprofile manager. Now you have to open MCC, choose “Network
and netprofile & Internet” → “Manage different network profiles”. The same
result can be obtained with “draknetprofile” command line. In <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_CONFIRMED "
title="CONFIRMED - Network Profiles mangement"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=14">bug 14</a> I asked
for an icon that open “Netprofile manager” with a single click.
2) how to know which profile is active. Example: my network don't works, have I
the right profile?
To check it I have to open “Netprofile manager” again. In <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_CONFIRMED "
title="CONFIRMED - Network Profiles mangement"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=14">bug 14</a> I asked to
show somewhere which netprofile is active, the best place could be
NetworkManager window. I know is a KDE software may be OMA developers know how
to do.
3) Update netprofile action. Netprofile affect proxy settings in MCC but these
seems not having anymore effect on Firefox (<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_UNCONFIRMED "
title="UNCONFIRMED - MCC proxy don’t affect browsers"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=2087">bug 2087</a>). Then Netprofile should
affect systemsettings proxy too (<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_UNCONFIRMED "
title="UNCONFIRMED - netprofile don’t affect proxy settings in systemsettings"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=2086">bug 2086</a>) or loose part of his usefulness.
<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_CONFIRMED "
title="CONFIRMED - Network Profiles mangement"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=14">Bug 14</a> is still unsolved after 4 years, bugs 2086 and 2087 still unchecked.
Maybe nectl could be a ready made solution with GUI, don't know if it will be
easy to package and if it will works.</pre>
