The biggest problem I have with using network managers is that "they" tend to get into the way too much. I really do not like a bit of software( be is scripts, or whatever ) thinking it is smarter than I. So when I "put my foot down" and do something manually, I mean it, and want it in place. But that's not how these network managers seem to work . . .
