I would suggest using NetworkManager 0.9 (recently released) since that has changes that make it much more amenable to resource-constrained systems. > In total it does work and the client handles the system connection fine > (there is no x-session, and only one use i runlevel 3) > The problem is that a LOT of disk space is wasted filed with packaged I do > not need. Which packages do you not need? NM 0.9 allows compiling out support for a number of things, including PolicyKit, PPP, and WiMAX. > So I got the idea to compile the NetworkManger from scratch and disable usage > of X (and x-session). You shouldn't need any X session to run NM, as the core daemon itself doesn't require anything running in a GUI environment. It can be controlled with nmcli or plain D-Bus, and configuration can be done through config files in /etc/NetworkManager (or /etc/network/interfaces). Let us know if you have any more questions...
