 ## Open Problems
 
-* The current code overwrites `/etc/network/interfaces` -- this needs to be
-  improved.
 * The apt repository at http://bird.network.cz/debian/ does not use PGP
   signatures, so `bird` and `bird6` will not be installed automatically.
 * Setting the hostname should occur before everything else. So either
   do that manually or run a small `ff_gw::sysadmin`-only manifest before the
   main `ff_gw` manifest.
 * User root requires ssh access to the git repository
-  `git@freifunk-gw01.hamburg.ccc.de:fastdkeys` --
+  `git@git.hamburg.freifunk.net:fastdkeys` --
   so create a key and have it authorized beforehand.
