I haven't been active in Debian for two years back when Lenny was

also noticed the same for Ubuntu (which I don't use or could care
about) and am trying to understand what is the correct way now for
Debian and what changed? I did a search on Google but didn't turn up
any results.
Is it no longer correct to run:
/etc/init.d/network restart

If you use GNOME *and* you've installed NetworkMangler, then the init.d
script is probably recommended.

My bad.  I meant to write "is probably *not* recommended".


/etc/init.d/network
does not exist. If you have Network Manager with its default setup,

Because the file is /etc/init.d/networking.

(Another note: Fedora 13 will introduce a CLI interface to NetworkMangler
using D-Bus. Their goal is that the code in the current script interface
will turn into D-Bus calls just as the GUI NetworkMangler currently is.)

It's been available for Fedora for almost a year
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8461
and is in Sid
http://packages.debian.org/sid/cnetworkmanager


Interesting.
