* dhcpcd/client.c
- Rework the DHCP client code to be much less chatty when
it receives non-DHCP UDP packets during the DHCP run
(reported by and preliminary patches from Bill Moss)
* Move wireless scanning to a separate thread. This thread forwards the
results to the main thread when done where they are integrated into
the device's access point lists. This keeps the main thread (which
does all the DBUS communication) from being blocked for long periods
of time by wireless scanning.
* Make state modification an idle routine in the main loop, and trigger
state changes rather than polling for them.
* src/backends/NetworkManagerGentoo.c
- Fix up invalid C90 code (reported by Christoph Ruessler)
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- Revert IPv6 patch for wired devices from 2004-12-22 for
router advertisements, causing problems and infinite loop
during "best" device determination due to link going up/down
(reported by Bill Moss)
Apply patch from Peter Jones
* src/NetworkManagerDevice.c
- Shortcut for link-checking for ipw2x00 cards
- Split out association check into separate routine

* src/NetworkManager.c (nm_data_new): Initialize named.
Also, set up a signal handler for SIGINT/SIGTERM, and exit
the mainloop when these signals are received.
(nm_data_free): Unref named.
(sigterm_handler, sigterm_pipe_handler): New functions for
exiting mainloop.
* src/NetworkManagerMain.h (NMData): Add signal handling and
nameserver bits.
* src/NetworkManager.c (nm_device_unref): Quit device mainloop on
unref.
* src/NetworkManagerDHCP.c (set_nameservers): New function;
set nameservers from DHCP response data.
(set_domain_search): Set domain search from DHCP response.
(nm_device_dhcp_configure): Invoke them.
* src/NetworkManagerSystem.c
(nm_system_device_update_resolv_conf): Delete. Deleting
code is totally sweet.
* src/Makefile.am (NetworkManager_LDADD): Add libnamed.
* named/nm-named-manager.h, named/nm-named-manager.c: New files;
implements an object which controls a nameserver. Currently
uses bind 9.
* configure.in: Check for named.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add named dir.
* named/named.conf: New template config file.

* Ad Ad-Hoc networking mode support. In Ad-Hoc mode, we only try to get
link-local addresses instead of doing DHCP.
* In the panel applet, there's a new "Create new Wireless Network..." item
* The panel applet also sticks around now even if NetworkManager dies, but
it doesn't hide its icon when NM isn't around. Not hiding the icon is
a bug, I'll fix that later.
* We also don't use 'nscd' anymore in the RH backend, it was impeding name
lookups after a switch rather than actually doing them.
* Clean up some of those warnings in nm_ap_list_* functions
* Delay between scans changed to 15s instead of 10s

Patch from Tom Parker
* Add autoip/Link Local Addressing support when we fail to get a DHCP
address
* Longer pause after setting ESSID on cards that support a larger number
of channels to give the card time to find the right channel
* Add system hook to restart mDNSResponder (or whatever the local implementation
of Multicast DNS is) when we activate interfaces

* Major rework of the DHCP code, taking some cues from pump. We don't
write raw Ethernet packets anymore, which simplifies the code quite
a bit. The new code should be more robust, not hang in recvfrom()
as much, and generally work better. This also means that we need
to force HAL/dbus to use a created GMainContext rather than the
default context, since having the DHCP renew/rebind thread using
its own GMainContext seemed to give dbus a fit. There is also more
debugging information printed from the DHCP loop to help with future
problems.
* Also, if the DHCP server doesn't give us the "routersOnSubnet" option,
assume that the default gateway should be the DHCP server.
Patch from Matthew Schick <matt oss-institute org>
* src/backends/NetworkManagerGentoo.c
- Fix compilation error due to missing "ip4_broadcast"

Major rework of link detection code. We now use DHCP
as part of the link detection which proves to be much more robust,
and also supports Open System authentication for wireless networks.
We no longer use external DHCP client programs. Instead, we use
our own DHCP client, based on substantially reworked bits of 'dhcpcd'
which was written by:
Yoichi Hariguchi <yoichi@fore.com>
Sergei Viznyuk <sv@phystech.com>
http://www.phystech.com/download/
It resides in the "dhcpcd" directory and was refactored into a general
purpose DHCP client library by me.
Also misc fixes (CPPFLAGS->AM_CPPFLAGS, move some stuff around),
move src/backends/NetworkManagerSystem.h -> src/NetworkManagerSystem.h
