This package includes BETA version of ifcfg-mdv system settings plugin, which adds support for Mandriva-specific interface configuration to NetworkManager. By default this plugin will NOT try to manage interfaces, configured using Mageia Control Center, to avoid conflicts with standard tools. To enable interface to be managed by NetworkManager it is REQUIRED to set the following in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXX: ONBOOT=no NM_CONTROLLED=yes You can also simply set " Allow interface to be controlled by Network Manager" using Mageia Control Center. You can find the current code in GIT repository at git://git.mandriva.com/projects/networkmanager.git in branch mdv.
