So, the question is in the subject. I'd like to understand the motivation behind this choice. In my opinion, NetworkManager should be the default for network setup.

* Sometimes graphical boot fails, for example, when video drivers not properly installed. In this case Network Manager does not work, and there is no access to the repositories. * Most desktop environments do not have a Network Manager front-end. * Network manager cannot keep the connection between user sessions, when changing the user or a desktop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
