In F8 on a PC-A I have start NetworkManager + NetworkManagerDispatcher. >From another pc (PC-B), via ssh connection, i switch PC-A from runlever 5 to 3 via "init 3" Network is stop. my shell on PC-B stop work! grrrr! then I goto on console of PC-A and "service network restart" come back to my PC-B, my shell now work! do some work (in runlevel 3) then re-switch PC-A (via ssh from PC-B) to runlevel 5 via "init 5" Network is stop. my shell on PC-B stop work! grrrr! Is this a correct behavior? Is NM incompatible with runlevel 3 ? Thanks to all for your reply!! -- Dario Lesca <d.lesca@xxxxxxxxxx>
