The thing is, you may have static IP configuration AND use NetworkManager at
the same time (http://en.opensuse.org/Projects/KNetworkManager#Wired_LAN) so
switching unconditionally to 'ifup' in such case is not an option.
This is sort of Catch-22 problem: if you decide to use NetworkManager, you need
to first download it from the network (provided you don't have it so far). But
for downloading something from the network, you need working connection which
you can't have, because you opted for NM and you don't have it so far.
Lado: y2-network uses PackageSystem::CheckAndInstallPackages(), maybe we could
use some more 'offline-aware' pkg binding?
