NetworkManager

Installation

For NetworkManager to work, make sure:

• dbus is running
• consolekit is running
• your user is a group of the network group

If starting the NetworkManager service leads to problems with X applications not starting (Display Variable not set) you may have to set the hostname in the NetworkManager config like so:

[main]
plugins=keyfile
[keyfile]
hostname = myhostname

If you want NetworkManager to ignore a network card you can blacklist its mac address:

[main]
plugins=keyfile
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:12:34:55:78:90:ab
