- The network-scripts package is no longer available in the Linux package repositories.
- The default Networkmanager plugin configuration is keyfile, ifcfg-rh.
- Existing ifcfg-files can still be read and written, but only if supported by the ifcfg-rh plugin.
- A new nmcli command option (
nmcli connection migrate <con-name>) helps with the conversion of ifcfg - configuration files to native NetworkManager connection profiles. However, this command only works for connections supported by the ifcfg-rh plugin. This means, for example, that TAP interfaces that were previously configured via ifcfg-files must now be recreated using nmcli commands or another NetworkManager configuration tool. Before using the migration command, take a backup copy of the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. - By default, there is no ifup command. If it is needed, the NetworkManager variant of the command can be installed (NetworkManager-initscripts-updown).
- The loopback interface (lo) cannot be managed by the NetworkManager in versions before 9.2.
- Interfaces managed by the Charon-SSP Manager must be under NetworkManager control (managed interfaces).
