This is exactly what I mean! I do not want to be bothered on a server
with a tool which does not work and break all the times!
Yes I have tried NM, but isnstalling this crap by default break my Sun
and IBM Sevrers.
I do not wan to to be bothered by Seting up NM and want o have a SIMPLE
ifupdownd which does not bother me with forcimg me to drive 2x 500km to
the datacenter (I am in Strasbourg and the datacenter is in Nürnberg)
the get my server back running

I want the same to which is not possibel with NM.
Installing NM by default will break systems which where running the last
12 years without flaws.

And what s if NM Cut-Off our Internet conenction? This is what happen
to me. NM is NOT ROCKSOLID! ifupdown is proofen to work perfectly.

This will not work, becase installing NM by default will break server
systems and you will have no access manymore the the server.

Because it does not work and we definitively have not ANY event driven
things on a server.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
