I think that, as someone else mentioned here, an overwhelming majority of Users, especially New Users, will have their homes set up with wireless rather than a network of Cat5 or Cat6.
This would also include many of the Small Home Businesses.
I think the Network Manager default would serve openSUSE best.
Once again, I have to remind that these users would get NetworkManager as default with my proposal as well. But apparently nobody is listening so they keep repeating the mantra that most users have wi-fi so that we have to give NetworkManager as default to everyone, including (and that is the difference between Richard's proposal and mine) those with *no* wi-fi device.
And it has been pointed out that it would be quite surprising if the installation behaves differently depending on having your WiFi dongle plugged in at installation time or even on the installation environment having the correct firmware for your WiFi dongle. If there is a need to choose a default it better be as universal as possible. Then support needs to ask fewer questions to get your problem solved as well.
