Great, that is going to conflict with my shorewall configuration when I
update.  And running another daemon process all the time for something
that rarely ever changes once it's set up?  Adding even more
dependencies with networkmanager?  Involving d-bus which is something
nobody understands?  That just sucks.

I still haven't even found a way to disable the DVD-drive polling.
Where is the configuration for that?  Or what makes the light flash all
the time?
