Re: CentOS 7.5 (1804) and NetworkManager

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Gnome's control-center now requires NetworkManager-wifi. But it's only a soft requirement, no shared libs involved.

To keep your workstation NM-free, you want to install a dummy package that provides NetworkManager-wifi but actually contains nothing, ideally before updating to 7.5. Here's a script to create such a dummy: https://github.com/larsks/fakeprovide

If you do this, control-center shows a sad face and some text (Oops, blah, blah, ...) in the WiFi tab. Just the same you always got in the network tab without NM. That's all.
