We've been talking about this on-and-off at

but it now seems like a reasonable time to bring a proposal to the

community at large. We're thinking about creating a new layer to

recipes, etc. for networking packages.

So what does everyone think? Awesome idea?
Terrible idea? (Hopefully)
something in between? All feedback is welcome.
I think creating software support layer for network related packages
is good idea.
We've updated some of the recipes from OE Classic mentioned above
for our projects at Mentor Graphics.
We've been thinking to place these updated recipes in meta-oe layer.
But I think now that separate layer like meta-networking
would be much more suitable place.
Also we've created some new packages like mipv6-umip or
multipath-tools
that are good candidates for being placed in meta-networking.
So, I suggest Mentor Graphics would contribute to meta-networking.
