Hmmm I do have two network cards and they both get IP addresses with DHCP as I would expect (when they both are enabled). Anyways, I don't think NM is the right solution for all proposed use cases right now for a number of reasons: * It doesn't have a good command-line interface * It probably can't do some of the more complex yet common setups possible with ifupdown, guessnet and friends * NM was built by the Gnome community and their goals are a lot different from ours Nevertheless, I do believe something like NM is probably the way to go, as it is a cleaner and more controlled event-oriented design compared to a collection of all sort of scripts. It's seems to be the right way to do it, even if you don't agree with the particular implementation.
