The -m is not a good solution for handling global wide configuration but was introduced to overcome the clear issues we encountered having the P2P Device interface share the configuration file with the other interface. Jouni accepted the change but wants to have a solution with will better handle configuration items that are global. The below patches were an attempt to handle this:
