[...] I don't know how the actual numbers are. I'd guess that "desktop environment" folks do have NM (my primary Debian "customer" is like that: they expect to plug in their computer into an Ethernet and some widgit to appear up there). More "down to the bolts" folks use ifupdown (I do). If I stick an Ethernet cable into my laptop I want to be able to say "sudo ifup eth0". Likewise, I do issue "sudo ifup wlan0" to connect to my configured wlan, which I do in /etc/network/interfaces. The latter can also be automated to a certain extent, of course. Pick your style :-) Cheers -- t
