What’s next in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (part 2)
Here’s the final installment of Bill Nottingham’s series based on the talk he gave at this year’s Red Hat Summit.
Network handling
Another area that’s shown a lot of improvement since Enterprise Linux 5 is networking, especially for desktop and laptop computers. In Fedora 9, we’ve greatly enhanced NetworkManager, and as a result, have switched to NetworkManager by default for all installs. Some of the features we’ve added to NetworkManager include:
* MobileBroadband support - NetworkManager now supports configuring access via GSM and CDMA cards for even greater connectivity options.
* System configuration support - NetworkManager now reads my system configuration , as configured via anaconda or system-config-network. This allows support for things such as static IPs.
* Multiple device support - NetworkManager will automatically connect to both wireless and wired devices simultaneously. This means that if I disconnect the wired device, I’ll have seamless access through my wireless device, instead of having to wait for it to associate and get an IP address.
* Connection editing - NetworkManager also includes a connection editor. With this, I can easily configure my wireless network, my mobile broadband connection, or even 802.1x for my wired connection.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
