Package: network-manager
Version: 1.28.0-2+b1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
There are many systems which do not have any form of wifi hardware at
all, and yet Network manager runs on them, usually pulled in by
something else. As examples:
* this system, which is an ethernet connected desktop
* the system I intend to migrate to as my firewall, running Freedombox
which depends on network-manager, but has no wifi
* virtual machines
This is related to #919619, and I appreciate the need for easy setup for
laptop users, but the dependency does impose a burden on resources for
people who are not using network-manager on a laptop.
Would it be possible to create a dummy 'no-wifi' package and have that
as an alternative to wpasupplicant and depend on that as an alternative.
