This detail that NM was fixed rather recently to handle static connections and not everybody is yet aware of this? NM was screwing here a big time so I am not surprised that there is no big rush to try again. I looked through all this thread and it follows from it that NM, after a really long wait, slowly becomes a tool which has some chance to be usable beyond a basic "one user - one computer - one network connection (and maybe some wifi on the top)" situation although clearly it is still not there; but obviously much closer than it used to be. OTOH Dan Williams also says there: "I tend to think there will be a place for manual network configuration for a long time (no matter what jeremy says :), because there are some situations that are just too borderline to support in the short term, or are sufficiently borderline that the maintenance cost of adding the feature outweighs the benefit of the feature in the first place. There's always a tradeoff to feature addition". So, luckily, he is not such gung ho as Jesse. :-) Michal -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
