Yeah... well I guess this makes NM being unusable for Debian... I've
commented on this already before...

It's a wrong decision trying to replace the actual native network
configuration tools with something which is clearly not powerful and
bug-free enough to do so...


Removing support for managed mode (which should be actually the default)
is probably just another step that will bring conflicts between the
native networking tools (ifupdown, vpnc, strongswan, etc.), their
configurations, their users,... and the NM fraction.


Cheers,
Chris.
