Olivier Galibert said the following on 11/15/2007 08:01 AM Pacific Time:
Bug #134886 is still there since fedora core 3 times. It means that
NetworkManager will happily shutdown the interfaces, ignore any
settings you've put in anaconda and wipe out /etc/resolv.conf if you
happen not to use dhcp. Like in a lab, where desktops and servers
tend not to wander around so much and dhcp is used only for laptops.
Fedora 8 adds another level to the fun:
- NetworkManager is started at gdm time. Which means that your
anaconda settings are ignored (and the DNS settings *erased*) as soon
as the login interface appears.
- service network restart doesn't work, because NM detects it and
stomps all over it
first:
service NetworkManager stop
- you can't just chkconfig NM out. It looks like it's started by
gnome itself, or maybe hal, so one has to study their "my wheel is
better than your wheel" startup configuration. Or maybe not. Dunno
really.
chkconfig --del NetworkManager
- if you try to yum remove it, you lose evolution,
krb5-auth-dialog, libpurple, nautilus-sendto and pidgin.
I've been thinking the same thing...you also lose liferea and pidgin which seems totally silly too!
Which component(s) should a bug be filed against?
# yum remove NetworkManager
