Let's try it: r...@debian:~# update-rc.d network-manager disable update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `network- manager' overwrites defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `network-manager' overwrites defaults (0 1 6). r...@debian:~# ls -l /etc/rc* | grep network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 14:12 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 14:12 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 17:09 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 17:09 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 17:09 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 17:09 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 dic 8 14:12 K01network-manager -> ../init.d/network-manager Looks good, all scripts are "K"aput as man page suggests :-) (rebooting...) t...@debian:~$ /etc/init.d/network-manager status could not access PID file for NetworkManager ... failed! This looks better :-D Now for "The Final Probe"... there is an update for NM I was holding for this momment, let's see what happens: r...@debian:~# LANG=en_US; apt-get update && apt-get -V dist-upgrade (...)

(rebooting...) t...@debian:~$ /etc/init.d/network-manager status could not access PID file for NetworkManager ... failed! Oh, yes! I think you got it :-) There are some warnings when running the "disable" argument but after all it seems to do the job as expected. A _big thanks_ to all for the tips, really appreciated.
