KDE on all systems.
I need to go test this again on my test laptop... tonight after work. I swear on a stack of EMACS manuals that NM did not come up and ifup was the default on a system with no wired NIC... but I've been wrong so many times before, that I could be completely out to lunch again. The thing is, this sticks in my mind because of how many "help me get network working" calls and emails I get where the issue is ifup vs NM.
Maybe the root problem is allowing NM to be installed on systems that don't need what ifup can't do? I taboo NM on every installation possessing no wlan hardware, which is most I do, since everything I use myself is wired.
You probably have not used a wired connection with native IPv6, which should get a global IPv6 address without any configuration. In this case the connection with ifup becomes unstable, it resets about each minute. Only with NM enabled I could get a stable connection and configuration with (a) fixed IPv6 address(es) is also possible with NM. System configuration seems to be the default, which means that right after booting the interface gets the configured settings. -- fr.gr.
