well, I am still troubled, because I simply do not understand why the lo was not present before and now it appeared. I am also having problems with my network setup. The usecase of lo in my PC is not something I would expect to request the presence of an lo. But since another instance I have of TW also shows now a lo interface, I think this was an update that made it appear. I am just not understanding to what purpose.
AFAICT, networkmanager was enhanced to also manage the loopback interface (for instance adding addresses to it), that's really all. Your systems have _always_ had a loopback interface, but networkmanager didn't "support" it. Now it does. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.5°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
