Description Ruediger Oertel 2013-02-04 16:19:40 UTC

looks like the NETWORKMANAGER variable is gone from /etc/sysconfig/network/config

is there any other way to disable NM other than installing the whole tree of packages starting at NetworkManager (I assume getting NM to setup a trunk of vlans plus the bridges and interfaces on top is out of the question)

Comment 1 Bernhard Wiedemann 2013-02-08 07:36:48 UTC

just found in 12.3-RC1 as well, that
in spite of switching to ifup mode in yast
systemctl status NetworkManager.service
still shows it as enabled (so starting on boot)

systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
might be a workaround

Comment 2 Marius Tomaschewski 2013-02-18 13:50:35 UTC

sysconfig and most other packages has been changed to not use NETWORKMANAGER
variable any more, but a network.service alias link.

See also release notes bug #800771 and - still unfixed - bug #798348, to
adopt switching between NetworkManager and /etc/init.d/network in yast2.
[/etc/init.d/network is currently active only while miminal installation,
 in all other cases NetworkManager because yast2 is unable to switch it
 as needed.]

To enable NetworkManager, use:

  systemctl stop network.service
  systemctl --force enable NetworkManager.service
  systemctl start network.service

to disable NetworkManager, use:

  systemctl stop network.service
  systemctl --force disable NetworkManager.service
  systemctl start network.service

This command:
   systemctl --no-pager -p Id show network.service

reports "Id=NetworkManager.service" when NetworkManager acts as the network
service, "Id=network.service" means /etc/init.d/network.
