    I came to dislike NM long ago, probably because it didn't exclude
ifupdown and was constantly in its way. Later I discovered it was a
creation of LP and I disliked it even  more. I'd like to stay with
ifupdown. I'd better like to have an application which provides DHCP
client service and nothing else... do one thing and do it well.
