Re: [opensuse-factory] Recommendation w.r.t. NetworkManager

 The NetworkManager is new to me (I don't know if it was in 10.1, but I 
 never installed that release) and I'm wondering what advantages or 
 trade-offs it entails. Is it recommended or preferred for all 10.2 
 installations? Because I was unfamiliar, I just went with 
 the Traditional method with ifup for my alpha and beta installations.

NetworkManager is handy on a notebook with WLAN because you can easily
choose the network you want to connect. It's also handy for VPNs.

Nevertheless, at least under KDE, KNetworkManger still has many issues, as you 
can see from looking at bugzilla. So if you can survive without 
NetworkManager, it will probably be better for you for now.

[opensuse-factory] Recommendation w.r.t. NetworkManager

2006-11-15 Thread Randall R Schulz
Hi,

The NetworkManager is new to me (I don't know if it was in 10.1, but I 
never installed that release) and I'm wondering what advantages or 
trade-offs it entails. Is it recommended or preferred for all 10.2 
installations? Because I was unfamiliar, I just went with 
the Traditional method with ifup for my alpha and beta installations.

If it's relevant, this box has two NICs (one on the wild Internet and 
the other on one of the wired ports of a NAT-ing wireless router) and 
is a fixed (geographically), always-on installation. The wild-side 
addressing is static, but I have no DNS name.


Any information or recommendations would be appreciated.

Yes, this is relevant because it means that you probably can't use
NetworkManager. NetworkManager is not yet able to handle two NICs
simultaneously.

Great. That makes the decision easy.

Thanks.
