at least as far as my contributions to the idea and Leap 15 are concerned (I would be surprised if it would be feasible to add something that invasive at this time)
I agree on that, if it should still go to 15, that would be the only way. But then it has something of a 'hot fix', and those have the tendency to never get re-done 'properly'. And I think for good user experience an early choice is important, too. Are really enterprise desktops supposed to use NM? Or changed manually after install?
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop uses NetworkManager by default, in all installations, regardless of laptop or otherwise. So, yes, they're supposed to use NM
(*) My other point mentioned in another reply, the availability of net connection without someone being logged in, *is* such a showstopper though.
The default network manager interfaces connect just fine without a user being logged in. In all my tests, NetworkManager already does this just fine, and already has for quite some time (at least every Leap release to date). Obviously if this doesn't work it would be a bug that needs to be addressed, but I don't think we should assess the feasibility of features we could have today on the possibility of bugs which do not seem to have today. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
