Kicksecure Network Configuration

Not sure that’s doable. Gets a lot more complex. An either DHCP or static wizard implementation would require a script. Generating the configuration files using a script makes the whole thing rather functional. While a DHCP implementation could be purely declarative (only config files).
Related to Focus on low-effort maintainability.

Then also CLI vs XFCE support. Must work in CLI somehow too. Think: server support. Using an ISO to install a server. In that case broken DHCP or any setup questions are even worse.

But it’s rather theoretic as we don’t even have a simple network manager / DHCP implementation yet, nobody yet signing up working on that, and missing other major parts such as kicksecure homepage, forums, iso, etc.
