And I'm told that ifdown/ifup is being retired and I should use nmcli.
That just means it doesn't ship, not that it isn't in the repos.
dnf install network-scripts
and you get back good old network again :-).
I already have network-scripts installed. And I get yelled at when I run ifup or ifdown.
[root@monster network-scripts]# ifup vnet0 WARN : [ifup] You are using 'ifup' script provided by 'network-scripts', which are now deprecated. WARN : [ifup] 'network-scripts' will be removed from distribution in near future. WARN : [ifup] It is advised to switch to 'NetworkManager' instead - it provides 'ifup/ifdown' scripts as well.
So, this is on its way out. Resistance is futile. You will be networkmanaged.
Rather than getting a rude surprise after some future upgrade, I think I'll want to take the path of least resistance, and figure out how to get this house of cards under NM's control.
