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?
I do not remember changing any defaults when I last installed my Laptop.
And I got NetworkManager just nicely per default.
Ciao, Marcus
Every tools has it pro's and con's. And once in a while the developers do answer your prayers.... I was told it would appear in next SLES-release (it's already on the OBS) From https://event.susecon.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=1375 TT1375 - Wicked Network Management Olaf Kirch - Director SUSE Linux Enterprise, SUSE Matthias Eckermann , SUSE For two decades the network configuration on Linux Servers has been done using configuration files and scripts. While there is nothing wrong with this approach in general (more the opposite, as we all know), it maxed out: virtual LANs, virtualization, bridging, bonding, IPv6, wired and wireless, ... combined with the requirement to change configurations dynamically, have pushed the classical approach almost to its limits. And NetworkManager did not manage the more complex of those, specifically in arbitrary combinations. The ''wicked'' project (http://gitorious.org/wicked/) tackles the challenges by implementing a dynamic infrastructure, combining a service daemon with dbus integration and a plug-in framework, the option to store configuration persistently, and interfaces to import existing script based static configuration of major Linux distributions into its wicked world. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
