network: make sure ipoib is handled
Last modified: 2012-11-03 00:38:29 UTC
NetworkManager supports bridging nowadays; the network menu should show something reasonable when it meets such a network configuration. 'Reasonable' might very well be 'just like wired' here. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NMEnterpriseNetworking (Note: this bug is part of a series of bugs I'm filing for handling 'exotic' network constellations)
s/bridging/IPoIB/
Given the current level of IPoIB support in NM, there's essentially no difference between ethernet and infiniband connections except that infiniband connections have longer hw addresses. So we can just display them the same way we display ethernet. As with the network menu, there's still a question of whether to list both ethernet and infiniband as "Wired", or to distinguish them as separate types.

Created attachment 226730 [details] [review] network: minimal support for unrecognized device types ==== This makes InfiniBand devices show up, and you can connect/disconnect them, and see their IP configuration. There is currently no IPoIB-specific information, but I don't think that's a problem, and you can click "Options" to get full details anyway.

I guess we need this bumped to 0.9.6 now. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/tree/configure.ac#n93
