Khem Raj e6b511f544 networkmanager: upgrade 1.56.0 -> 1.58.0
Bump to the nm-1-58 stable branch. CVE-2026-10805 and the DHCPv4
out-of-bounds read fix are both already included in the 1.58.0 tag
(verified via git merge-base --is-ancestor against upstream), so no
backport patch is required.

- 0002-meson-fix-cross-compilation-issues.patch dropped: merged
  upstream verbatim as commit e5d2c7c by the same author, and is an
  ancestor of the 1.58.0 tag.
- 0001-linker-scripts-Do-not-export-_IO_stdin_used.patch kept, still
  needed, applies with offset only.
- dhclient support was removed upstream (all: drop dhclient code and
  build configuration); drop PACKAGECONFIG[dhclient] and update the
  NETWORKMANAGER_DHCP_DEFAULT comment accordingly.
- Wireless Extensions (wext) meson option is deprecated and now
  errors on -Dwext=true; drop it from PACKAGECONFIG[wifi], keeping
  only -Dwifi.
- New CLAT feature defaults to enabled in meson_options.txt and pulls
  in libbpf >= 1.3.0; add PACKAGECONFIG[clat] but leave it out of the
  default PACKAGECONFIG set so it stays disabled and avoids a new
  hard dependency.
- Package the new nm-initrd-generator.sh systemd generator directory
  under ${PN}-daemon and make bash an unconditional RDEPENDS since
  the generator script requires it regardless of the ifupdown
  PACKAGECONFIG setting.

Build-verified: networkmanager and its openvpn/openconnect/
fortisslvpn plugin recipes all build successfully.

meta-networking

This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related packages and configuration. It should be useful directly on top of oe-core and complements meta-openembedded. It should be primarily useful to the following groups:

  - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
    bridge / switch).

  - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
    anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)

Dependencies

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: master

For some recipes, the meta-oe layer is required:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded subdirectory: meta-oe branch: master

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded subdirectory: meta-python branch: master
