All of these will be used by the network setup snippets in the new kickstart files.
For those of you with existing setups (should be everyone), the cobbler code will be written to migrate settings around automatically, just be aware of the new CLI options and the webapp will be changing slightly by moving some fields around.
This is a more-correct modelling of the network as it actually is, so these changes should make cobbler much more usable in the long run.
If there are any questions about this, now is the time to ask.
For those using the devel branch, except the webapp to be broken as I haven't implemented all of this presently. Similarly, DNS and DHCP management may not be completely in line, so if you are using the development branch for "productiony" things you have been warned :)

FYI, pieces missing from the above so far are:
-- webapp changes to apply the above -- manpage changes -- wiki changes (where referenced) -- DNS and DHCP management testing -- new snippet modificiations to apply the route configurations and also pay attention to the new fields and not the old ones (jcapel?) -- install testing
Please find attached a quick fix for the network snippets so they work at least.
Some checks that it misses is on which interface to put the hostname+gateway. This needs to be extracted from the intf ip and subnet.

Thanks Peter!
This is now applied.
Since you are submitting a lot of patches, you might be interested in hosting your own public git branch. Not required, but if you want to do that, details are here: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/PeopleWithRemoteGitBranches
It has the benefit of making the output of "gitk" include your name and makes workflow a bit easier to track. Up to you.
