Look, if you have a simple setup fine. I am all for everyone having their choice. But taking the tone that it is some bad thing or a waste of time is ridiculous. It makes sense on desktops unless they have a connection that cannot ever be severed, and do not use VPNs. > It's useful for laptops which travel a lot (not even all laptops, cause many > of them are used as desktop-replacements).

What's the point of asking for that when you can already turn NetworkManager off. If NetworkManager fills all the role provided by s-c-network, there's no point in having two ways to do the same thing. I started off by saying that there are several things that NetworkManager doesn't do yet so s-c-network shouldn't be removed yet. Some of these things bring change and seem to make some people overly nervous, as long you can do things the old way, try not to block change that is useful to everyone else. It's just like PulseAudio, it helps a lot of people, but it works terribly for me, so I just removed it. No need to go complaining about its existence. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
