          Disabling NetworkManager


          As of the time of writing (Fedora 12), NetworkManager still
          does not support bridging,

is this still so? Thx, ...

Yes, unfortunately.

It is possible for the 'network' service and the 'NetworkManager' service to co-exist, but every update is hit and miss.

On my performance laptop I use a bridge for eth0 so that when I am at my desk working KVM works well. I also allow NetworkManager to control the wireless card so when I am traveling and not working on VMs, the wireless works like it should.

In the config files for the bridge and wired ethernet, I use NM_CONTROLLED="no" to prevent NetworkManager from messing with them.

However, a recent update broke it again so I am upgrading to F17 today to test this issue (and others).

Good Luck!
