Is this true?
I have the impression that NM takes note of NM_MANAGED=yes or no
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 (or whatever).
So I assume from this that NM must read these files.
I wish someone would document NM,
explaining what files it consults,
and something about how it is supposed to function.
In my experience NM works fine 95% of the time;
but when it does not work it is often very difficult
to work out exactly where the problem lies.
In particular the entries in /var/log/messages
are completely useless.
Another annoyance is that the network service
seems to have got tangled up with NM, at least in Fedora-16;
they used to be more or less independent.
