OK. I see. So it's only with restart. Got it. By non-static is that only dhcp or are there other non-static setups? I would imagine a dhcp setup would restart fine, but maybe I am such a simple user. > ifupdown keeps its state in /run/network/ifstate, if you bring devices up or > down using low-level tools then ifupdown may get confused.

What's your problem with it? Well, considering I misinterpreted the part where only "restart" was deprecated, I suppose if restarting is not possible, then fine. >> 4.

I don't know why there would be network-manager install on a server, but we live in such a entertainment world. It's good there are others striving for a professional OS.
