The old system-config-network was better for my purposes but
attempts to remove NM have caused extremely long "boot" times each
time I've tried that. It would increase from the present thirty
seconds or so to several minutes. I shut down at night and if I
only reboot once it's a minor annoyance but if I do something that
requires a reboot it becomes a major pain! That's probably the real
reason I still use NM, the removal is messy.
I decided to disable NetworkManager on another F17/64 bit computer,
did "yum install system-config-network." There was no problem with
long boot times, 45 seconds on a slower computer, the boot process
goes smoothly with no hitches where it stops and waits for something
to time out.
I find Yumex convenient at times, mainly for it's list of available
app's. Yumex would not connect until I yum removed NetworkManager?
I don't know what else it may have caused problems with.
Systemctl status network.service still works but that is the only
one of those, start, restart, etc. Fail. It is convenient to have
the NetworkManager icon where the connection can be controlled,
sometimes I want to disconnect from the internet. Now all there is
is the Network Control gui for that, inconvenient to use
Just my observations at this point.
