My configuration is: [main] plugins=ifcfg-suse,keyfile According to the man page in the previous post: ifcfg-suse - plugin is only provided for simple backward compatibility with SUSE and OpenSUSE configuration. Most setups should be using the keyfile plugin instead. The ifcfg-suse plugin supports reading wired and WiFi connections, but does not support saving any connection types. That is rather cryptic... Reading from where? One would assume /etc/sysconfig/network. If that is the case, then it does not work. I think that before I continue this, I need to decide which openSUSE versions we want to try to do this with, and then see how the NetworkManager on those releases work. Otherwise I suspect I will be fighting with old bugs in NetworkManager. I know that people would be happy if I sorted this out for 12.1 and 13.1. Maybe I will focus on 13.1 and use that as another reason users should upgrade to 13.1... On Mon, May 25, 2015 at 7:55 AM, Andrei Borzenkov <arvidjaar@gmail.com> wrote:

I am trying this on a 12.3 system (I know...) and when I switch from traditional to Network Manager, none of the existing interface settings are used. All devices are set to DHCP. And, as the user I am, I need to configure the wired connections to have a fixed address. And it lets me. And I am not root. This is what I wanted to not allow.
Since Network Manager did not start with the device configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network, how would it have the system settings and not allow the user to set things? What settings are used?
NM used to have read-only plugin to support traditional SUSE interface configuration. Plugin is very old and should be present in your version as well, but probably is not enabled by default. See plugins setting in http://linux.die.net/man/5/networkmanager.conf
