But yes, *changeing* WiFi / Bluethooth / VPN details is easier for GUI-users with NM.
For static environments, fail-over stuff, bonding, multi-IP, etc ifup makes much more sense.
Agreed. However, for the future, wicked by SUSE aims for dynamic network management for servers. Networks are becoming too complex for the traditional stack.
IMHO for most laptops / tablets / mobile devices with wireless and/or otherwise changeing connections, NM will be better and easier to use than ifup.
Agreed.
Does NM (now/13.1) have any continual and replecable success in handling GSM / UMTS / LTE modems (Cards, USB)/ connections ? I remember 12.1 NM as something unreliable there.
It works reliably on 12.3 (I haven't tested it on 13.1 yet) with a USB GSM modem. The main problem with NM is that its operation depends on a software stack comprising complicated programs and it is not always easy to identify which part of the stack is at fault when problems occur.
