from initscripts:

 Currently, team masters and slaves are supported 
 via ifup-Team* and ifdown-Team* scripts shipped in 
 teamd package. It uses somehow ugly workaround where
 user have to specify DEVIVETYPE to "Team" or "TeamPort". 
 This turned out to be non-optimal solution as this is 
 confusing users. Also it does not work when TYPE is set. 
 So fix this by adding the team support hooks directly 
 into initscripts. Now for team port, user needs only to set: 
 TEAM_MASTER="teamx" and for team master, user needs only to set: 
 TEAM_CONFIG="...whatever..."

ppp support moved from initsccripts to ppp

""" The ppp package contains the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) daemon and documentation for PPP support. The PPP protocol provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial point-to-point links. PPP is usually used to dial in to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or other organization over a modem and phone line. """

initscripts support for bridge prio, aging

( maybe also NetworkManager supports these? ) When using network.servoce, interface definitions in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for bridges can now include declarations for bridge priority and aging. Use these parameters:

 PRIO=<num>

where <num> a number between 0 and 255 is used to determine the relative bridge priority. Useful for applications requiring multiple bridges. See http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO/advanced-bridge.html#STP for more details.

 AGEING=<NUM>

where num is the number of seconds to keep a MAC address in the forwarding database after the last packet received from it. Usually does not need to be modified.

-NetworkManager can now create and edit system-wide network connections in /etc/sysconfig. NetworkManager has been able to read information about system-wide network connections from /etc/sysconfig for a while. Now we have enabled full read-write support for system connections. The ability to create or modify new system connections will be controlled by PolicyKit policies. Initially, only wired/wireless connections will be supported. Later on, vpn connections will follow. For connections that require secrets, those will be stored in .keys files in /etc/sysconfig.

-By providing a database of preconfigured mobile broadband providers, supporting more hardware and permit to scan GSM networks, NetworkManager makes the use of mobile broadband much easier. Your broadband provider will be automatically recognized by NetworkManager and it will make it easy to just plug it your USB device and get you online within minutes.
