Why NM is a system service if conflict with network service? I use NM on my laptop only for automatic start dhcp request when the cable network is plugged in. Why this work (know cable plugged in and get dhcp request) It does not do from network service? For WiFi: If I have a wlan0 correctly configured (with password stored in a secure files), Why standard network service not up my wlan0 interface when a wifi network is detects? Honoring, for example, a new flag PRIORITY in ifcfg-xxx0 files In this way, work in init 5 runlevel, the user via a simple applet in tray bar can start/stop (ifup/ifdown) interface.
