Does anyone here actually use NetworkManager on anything but a laptop or desktop? I can't seem to figure out a reason to use it on a server.
As the mail thread shows, Fedora is making it more of a base system item.

However, judging by Fedora forums, (but this is hearsay--as another old person disliking change, I remove it on everything, even laptops), it seems to still sometimes cause problems. However, that's hearsay, and quite possibly only causes problems for newcomers, I don't follow any of the threads that closely. It does seem that hand editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-whatever doesn't completely work anymore--however, I can't confirm that, I've run into it at random times, and one can get a card working properly with system-config-network-tui.
(On Fedora, not on CentOS-6.x--on CentOS, hand editing the file works as expected)
