Disabling NetworkManager

English Applications
1

o/s version: openSuSE11 w/KDE4
software: NetworkManager

I changed my network setup method from NetworkManager to ifup, but upon
startup NetworkManager persists in starting up.

I tried looking in ~/.kde & ~/.kde4/Autostart, but there was no
‘Autostart’ directory in .kde and .kde4/Autostart was empty.

Also I tried looking in Personal Settings>Advanced>Service
Manager/Session Manager/Login Manager.

Please help me get rid of this.

Did you tried with yast?
Open yast, then go to ‘Network Devices’, select ‘Global settings’ tab,
then you will see an option to use the traditional ifup method.

Yes, that was the first thing I did. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.

The reason I stopped using It is because I tried to set my ip
statically, and for some reason that wouldn’t work with NetworkManager
