Package: network-manager
Severity: wishlist
Hi !
I am using NM for my laptop when I'm away from home and am very
satisfied by it.
However, I am always pissed off when I want, at home particulary, to
configure my interfaces by hand since NM enters in the dance and
reverts my configurations..
I have noticed the README.Debian about restarting the daemon, but it
does not say how to stop or start (ok use start/stop as argument..)
or even disable it at boot, like the update-rc.d is doing. And also,
the place for this script, /etc/dbus-1/conf.d/25NetworkManager, is
not well known and cannot be guessed at first glance. Not everyone
wants to go through the README.Debian for stoping a daemon..
My wish would be that the package provide an more known way to
start/stop the daemon and perhaps disable it at boot.. The expected
place for a daemon init script is at /etc/init.d, so perhaps a
first solution would be to have a link to the script without linking
this in /etc/rcX.d. This does not yet offer to disable it at boot but at
least is much more easy for the user..
"How do I stop this daemon that keeps on erasing my changes ? Let's look
at /etc/init.d then..."
Thanks for your work !
Romain
