This is one reason why I would like this feature to use the TDE
network
system, as that system a.) falls back gracefully when
NetworkManager is
not installed and b.) is designed so that other network
backends
(e.g.
simply reading ifconfig) can be added in the future.
In summary, not everyone uses a wireless connection. :-)
We have a place to direct this conversation and patching:

BTW, this is a healthy enhancement request but is not an R14.0.0
priority.
