NetworkManager.service is not enabled at all.

Christoph,

 I just switch to ifup in Yast, then run systemctl, I can't find any NetworkManager keyword, so it works fine for me.

 Do you meet this issue in other machine? Thanks!

I have one additional machine where 12.1 was installed from scratch and where ifup was selected during installation and it shows the same problem. Maybe this happens only if you use ifup during installation.

Frederic,

 Do you met this issue before? Thanks!

this is "normal", NetworkManager is handled as a separate service, when running under systemd and it will automatically fail if network configuration is using ifup service.
