ifcfg scripts?

[Tom Horsley]

I just built a fedora 34 virtual machine. Networking clearly
works in it since I downloaded updates. But inside the virtual
machine there are no /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files.

Has NetworkManager completely moved where it stores network
information now? I used to be able to copy all the ifcfg scripts
to get the network setup the same as the old fedora had.

Do I have to recreate my network setup with a bunch of nmcli commands
for fedora 34?

I know they were going to get rid of the ifcfg-backend at some point but
haven't heard of it just yet.  Check this blog post; it might have
useful info:

Thanks! I just tried copying over my ifcfg files to the new f34
partition and changing the NetworkManager.conf to say:

[main]
plugins=ifcfg-rh,keyfile

I'll boot over there and see if my bridges and wot-not are all setup
the same as f33.

The ifcfg files are still supported if you really want to use them.
