This entire thread seems to have different terminology used by different
posters, causing me some confusion. So perhaps a few questions:
(1) What is "the new network stack" provided by the newnet USE flag?
(2) Why is dhcpcd referred to as a "network manager" in the same context as
wicd, networkmanager, connman, etc? In the sense that dhcpcd is not sufficient
for security protected wireless alone, as is, say, wicd; and is not a
replacement for true "network manager" apps. DHCP client != network manager
app
(3) Is udhcpc provided by busybox not sufficient in lieu of dhcpcd for stage3?
Thanks for your explanation(s).
