What it probably does is managing em2 which doesn't exist anymore because I turned off the network adapter in the BIOS.

It's better to disable networkmanager when you don't want it to do anything. Why keep a service running that isn't supposed to do anything? -- Fedora 17 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
