I have a static IP. In s-c-n, am I supposed to say NM controlled=yes
or NM controlled=no?
NM controlled =yes in one sense might mean "Can NM turn this on for
you given the static IP address and DNS setting"?
Saying NM Controlled = NO may mean "can we turn on eth0 for you, ignoring NM?"
Or NM controlled = yes might mean "Should NM try to run DHCP for you
and destroy your IP settings and erase the DNS?"
See what I mean? It is unclear what the option means.
