You can just uninstall it and use something else to configure networking. It's one of the first things I purge on any distro. With systemd it's not so simple.

- chrisper 10y agoWhat do you replace it with?
- wink 10y agoI use wpa_supplicant + dhcpcd + wpa_gui and only have to update my config like once per year.
- toast0 10y agoAll of my debian systems have their network configured with /etc/network/interfaces like so: iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid redacted wpa-psk "redacted" It's a bit clunky if I need to take a laptop around to different wifi networks, but I don't do that very much.
- tremon 10y agoI use wpa_supplicant on Debian, it has no problem associating with many different wpa-psk networks. I think it can also do wpa-enterprise, but haven't needed that yet.
- mdadm 10y agoPersonally, I replace it with connman[0], as I find connmanctl(1) to be far more usable than nmcli. [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Connman https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Connman
- MertsA 10y agosystemd-networkd It actually works rather well but it doesn't have every feature that NetworkManager does.
- jleahy 10y agoI use netctl and find it works very well. For non-wifi use cases you probably don't need anything at all (maybe dhcdcd).
