The keyfile plugin as said earlier is the default & native plugin to use
with networkmanager [1]
In order to introduce nm on distribution using ifcfg files (redhat/fedora)
the ifcfg-rh plugin has been wrote to read & make nm able to use them (&
avoid interferences between nm & the « old » scripts).
So to use it you simply need to configure networkmanager by
editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
For example on my workstation i've got :
cat NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=keyfile
dns=dnsmasq
[keyfile]
hostname=aker.cauldron.lan.littleboboy.net
it's mean that i'm using the keyfile plugin (read [1] or
man NetworkManager.conf for more details) & ask nm to to also start dnsmasq
for me.
I also setup the hostname to set in nm in the keyfile section.
There's also no need to do a « fresh » install to test/use it.
