+We can probably keep some compatibility (like the sysvinit/systemd
+duality).
+
+What is the issue with ifplugd and NM?
+If NM is used for an interface, ifplugd should not be started for the
+same interface. What's actually happening?
+
+If you have 5 wifi networks configured, wpa_supplicant is normally able
+to automatically select the right one at boot, and it used to work for
+me. What happens in your case?
