This is an incredibly stupid and short sighted decision that will impair adoption of Linux in corporate environments. These days, companies often provide employees with notebook computers, with the expectation they will be used elsewhere. They are also often not in the habit of giving employees admin or root access. This means an employee, at home, travelling on business or just in the local coffee shop, will not be able to use WiFi, unless that company is prepared to send someone with root access along with them. In many locations, WiFi is the only option, as Ethernet is not available. Unless there is some way for an admin to turn off this "feature", it will cause problems for corporate users.
So you didn't read/see Stefan Seyfried's reply in the other thread you participated in on this same topic? Quoting Stefan: "Just uncheck the "available to all users" box in nm-connetion-editor and you won't need root." So.. on to the next rant then, err, I mean discussion :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
