  1. I like NetworkManager, but.... by DerPflanz · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since NetworkManager, day-to-day network use (be it WiFi, wired or whatever) Just Works. I like that.

    However, when (as a developer, hardware-tinkerer or network problem solver) you are plugging in and out cables, connecting devices, etc, it would be nice to have NetworkManager to be put on "mute" or something. Just keep my fixed IP on the correct devices and stop enabling and disabling connections. That's the only time I turn the service off.
