When working on NetworkManager, the following projects cause me headache:

  • NetworkManager itself: I need to test NM in a virtual environment with bridges. These are not supported in the current release. I hope to make the next release mature enough to support its own development.
  • Kernel: The kernel IPv6 networking layer is somewhat unmanagable. The rtnetlink interface doesn't provide enough funcionality to support IPv6 networking.
  • GLIBC: The getaddrinfo() function doesn't work properly and is not supported in nsswitch.conf. It breaks whenever my development machine happens to be on an IPv4-only network.
  • nss-mdns (Avahi nsswitch plugin): Can't implement link-local name resolution because of the above problem in GLIBC.
