NetworkManager has been one of the biggest disasters in GUI and configuration history known to open source. It has absolutely *no* use in normal desktop or server operation: it cannot configure basic configurations such as pair-bonding or bridges effectively, and its ability to wipe out and override normal configuratons without warning is the bane of stability. It has some vague uses for traveling laptops, that may need comfortable tools to manipulate VPN's and wireless connections, but it's that good even at those. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
