Correct; with 0.6.x they are definitely mutually exclusive.

I can appreciate the difficulty in integrating the two, but if I could send in a feature request for this, then I would do! It would be much nicer to be able to restart "/etc/init.d/Network-manager" and have it cascade so that it also restarted /etc/init.d/networking. Would also be nice to be able to script with network-manager, but if this is not at all possible, then at least to be able to script with standard pre|post-up|down, but I suppose that nm would have to be compatible with manually defined interfaces in that case. --andrew _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
