I just got the openSUSE 11 Bible and looked immediately for info on NetworkManager, which I found on page 440. There is stated that NM is primarily for wireless, while traditional network configuration should be used for wired networks. Since I have a wired system, NM is probably not right for me. What do I need to do to replace network manager with the tradional method of configuring networks on F9?
(Note: so far as I have determined, Network Manager is not discussed at all in the Fedora F9 Bible except for a note on page 19 saying that NetworkManager is now the default for F9. Please correct me (with page numbers) if I am wrong about that).
Thanks.

Disable NetwokManager service and enable Network service.
Thanks, Anoop

I'd run system-config-network, ensure that eth0 (or what your interface now is) have the check-box "Controlled by NotworkManager" un-ticked. Then configure it to your hearts content and set it to activate at boot.
If you are not using NetworkManager at all, chkconfig it to off.
All the ways to manage your network in the "old way" are still there, you just need to move NetworkManager out of the way.

You don't have to. If your network is working fine, using it, then you may as well keep on using it. It's key feature isn't really just wireless, but in handling using different networks (allegedly) painlessly.
e.g. Now you plug into your home LAN, later you plug into someone else's LAN, and you might use wireless, later on. With all that you have to do is just plug in, or get close to the wireless, and not have to select or reconfigure anything to use the different network.

The network initialization stopped working on its own some time ago. I have to start it manually now and both Firefox and Liferea come up in off-line mode. My network is and will remain wireless, so I want to go back to no NetworkManager.

Hey! This is just like Windows NT!
Thanks!
