Features I am missing are: - A possibility to make NM ignore an interface from the management tools, which would allow to normally use NM but disable it if one wants to configure a device on the command line. Having to disable interfaces from /etc/sysconfig to be able to use them without NM interfering makes it more cumbersome to use NM at all. - Support NM not interfering with Wi-Fi attack tools such as aircrack-ng, which might only be possible by ignoring the device completely or by adding support to change devices into monitor mode and select static of changing frequencies etc. Probably the features airmon-ng provides would be necessary. - Allow to create tun/tap devices, especially persisted ones with permissions for users Should I file RFEs for these in Red Hat Bugzilla or is there a better place to communicate them to?
