[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#760784: Global settings

[martin f krafft]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-2
Severity: wishlist

There seems to be no way with NM to

  1. override the list of DNS servers (I always want to use OpenNIC)
  2. add a search domain to all connections (e.g. madduck.net for
     me), not having to configure this for every connection
  3. be able to specify defaults, e.g. requiring ipv6 addressing for
     a connection to complete.

Etc.

It's surprising that none of this has been added to NM. Am
I overlooking something? Are there other tools?
