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 bug 14 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 bug 14 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 (bug 2087). Then Netprofile should
affect systemsettings proxy too (bug 2086) or loose part of his usefulness.
Bug 14 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.
