After upgrade from 12.3 Beta to 12.3 RC1, NetworkManager is started unconditionally even if NETWORKMANAGER="no"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 12.3 Beta with  NETWORKMANAGER="no" without problem. NM is not started
2. Upgrade 12.3 Beta to 12.3 RC1
3. 
Actual Results:  
NM is always started 

Expected Results:  
NM should not start if NETWORKMANAGER is set to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/network/config

Start Yast and checked that Network Setup Method is set to "Traditional Method with ifup". After a reboot NM is still started at boot.


Workaround: manually disable NM with "systemctl disable NetworkManager.service"

Comment 1 Marius Tomaschewski 2013-02-26 17:06:57 UTC

The migration of
- NETWORKMANAGER="no" is fixed and submitted + accepted (rq#156054,rq#156065),
- NETWORKMANAGER="yes" submitted in rq#156055 for review by NM maintainers as
  there are some NM + systemd + update related issues.
