Judging from both recent editions of Fedora and the free beta RH7, you don't HAVE to use NetworkManager. You will have to manually turn it off and turn network on, and judging by later versions of Fedora (though not at all deeply researched by me) you may need to use the system-config-network-tui tool rather than just editing /etc/sysocnfig/network/network-scripts/ifcfg-*. Unfortunately, (and freely admitting much of this may be old person's get of my lawn attitude), it does seem that the Fedora developers are working for the single user laptop, and have little concept of system administration--or, to be fair, have little interest in things for the system administrator, and unfortunately, RedHat just throws these things into their next enterprise version without checking. NM is not going to go away. However, at least for RHEl7, it should be fairly easy to remove it and use /etc/init.d/network. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
