I can't see why it's a bad thing. and the fact that n-m doesn't play step on the toe of resolvconf shows that having 2 systems lead to conflicts. > I don't know why we would need to remove the wifi part of network-admin, > though... not only removing the wifi part, but also the dynamic ip part. the reason is that network-manager handle these 2 tasks better than network-admin does. And having to way to configure the wifi will be confusing for the end user. Also the wifi part or network-admin is the part that doesn't work well. All these comments will only make sense when network-manger will be in main and in the default install. So obviously not a dapper goal.
