That is good reading, but it really does not directly answer the question. I believe the short answer is no there is not a current method to run NM 100% headless and do everything you want to do. The closest attempt at a headless implementation appears to be cnetworkmanager which is written in Python. Cnetworkmanager currently appears to do most configuration settings for ethernet and wifi. Also, I do not believe NM supports dial-up ppp, but I may be wrong. If anyone knows about a headless implementation I would love to know about how people are doing so. -- John
