I also tried the opposite just now. I.e turning off 'network' and
turning on NetworkManager. 'network' services would not turn off. From
the services gui I got a SELinux warning (even in permissive mode) from
the command line I got
]# service network stop
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
]# service NetworkManager start
Setting network parameters... [ OK ]
Starting NetworkManager daemon: [ OK ]
Waiting for network... [FAILED]
]# service NetworkManager status
NetworkManager (pid 4866) is running...
All I get is an empty notification panel gui that shows up and says no
network connection, when, in fact, everything is connected but offline.
]# service network status
Configured devices:
lo eth0
Currently active devices:
lo eth0
N.B. Tried to man 'network' -- no manual entry. Is there another name
to 'man' by?
