Description Michael Stather 2006-01-23 10:28:33 UTC 
Currently they start at startup no matther whether there´s a cable connected or not.
Changing this wouldn´t have any draw3backs IMHO but some advantages, e.g. I can plug the cable after starting the system and it´lll work, as well as plugging into a different network while running (dhcpcd will fetch a new IP address for me then).

We're not going to change this.

The solution for changing networks is NetworkManager and for static networks it will stay as is.
Comment 2 Michael Stather 2006-01-23 17:28:15 UTC 
Does "changing networks" also cover simple ethernet links?Or just wireless networks?
IMHO it doesnt make sense to enable a network card/interface when there´s no cable attached to it. No matter whether it´s managed by network manager or not.
Or am I able to manage such networks also with network manager in 10.1?
