Minimal Install & Network Manager

[Nathanael D. Noblet]

Hello,

   Not sure if this is a bug persay. However I've installed Alpha RC2, 
and to speed up the install I requested 'Minimal', since the first 
install had a grub issue. Second install worked fine, system boots up. 
However the network interface doesn't 'work' because the minimal install 
is without NM... I presume not having NM in a minimal install is by 
design, however I'm wondering if when that method is chosen as an 
install whether detected network devices shouldn't have NM_CONTROLLED=no 
so that the network interfaces come up. I can file a bug if desired, but 
I didn't know if there was a reason for the current setup...

Known issue, not new in RC2 at all. See bug 693602.
