I had already done that, quite some time ago. There would appear to be quite a few problems with letting NetworkManager control the network. On my laptop, still running Fedora 7, I decided to use Network Manager as its connection to a network could change at a moment's notice. I had to change the order of various init scripts so that other things would work (NFS, for instance), and add scripts to the Network Manager Dispatcher so that NTP, for example, would work (restart the NTP daemon). It was quite a pain. I couldn't do the really obvious thing, and start Network Manager really early, as it needed some other things first. And other network init scripts needed moving further back so that the network would be up by the time the system had got around to them. This box, running Fedora 9, is a desktop on a LAN that doesn't really change much. So I see no point in banging my head against a brick wall trying to fix up Network Manager. I don't need it, and it's too damn badly implemented. It starts too late, by default. And at least sendmail and NTP need restarting after it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
