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?
I hope no default change any time before NM does more maturing. Ifup is KISS, much better for the many systems using a single more secure wired connection and needing 0 "management", especially by a complicated, larger and buggy manager. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
