AIUI this isn't an entirely accurate characterization. When NetworkManager is in use on Fedora it takes over entirely; it ignores the settings in /etc/sysconfig/network-profiles and so forth, it uses its own configuration data only. For F12 it's growing a feature where it will 'assume' connections handled by the old-style scripts that are active when it starts up, and pass them off again when it shuts down, but still, while it's running, it is in charge of everything networking, as you describe for Connman. The difference is just that, on Fedora, you have the option of _not_ running NetworkManager at all, instead using the older system, if you choose. Others correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the case :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
