Yesterday I installed fresh. Result was too much screwed up to make sense of it all. I tried zypper rm wicked, but couldn't get network to work except by using yast to delete NIC and add it back at every boot. Network@eth0.service refused to survive boot, if it ever got created at all. I couldn't find any wicked instructions anywhere on opensuse.org. Its man page is too terse for me to get a useful enough amount out of it. So I decided to install all over again, starting by tabooing wicked.
Tabooing wicked deselects zypper, and breaks too much to remember it all, a vast amount of yast, making software selection during installation take horrendous extra time clicking all those break xxx instead of allow wicked to be installed dialogs. e.g. inexplicable ones like yast2-users.
Ifup has always worked nicely with single NIC systems on a 100% wired LAN, no network "management" required. Why does unneeded network "management" need to be entangled in everything as wicked appears to be?
Because the devs will never learn the lesson that they need to get something new /working/ BEFORE making it the default.
