Hello list,
So, the question is in the subject. I'd like to understand the motivation behind this choice. In my opinion, NetworkManager should be the default for network setup. The use of ifup doesn't show any advantage: configuration for WiFi is problematic (and sometimes for wired networks too), it increases the startup time and the service doesn't restart properly.
OK, NetworkManager has its problems too, but it's a better solution than this, specially for newbies in this distro.
So, does someone have any plans to change this?
Isn't it default if you install with KDE/Gnome? Last time I did test KDE installation I ended up with it. In general, it might be reasonable default if you have WiFi and KDE/Gnome. Otherwise network scripts does what you need them to do and are totally hidden from user so he doesn't need to care. <flame>Apart from that, network scripts and easier to configure and more user friendly, they are just more picky who they are friends with :-)</flame> <flame>But don't worry, it will get integrated into systemd soon ;-)</flame> -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
