Ok, so... did you manage to change to NM? Does it work?


Wicked can't handle automatically changing hardware, like an USB network 
connection. NM can.

Yes, when you change to NM, YaST can no longer control/configure the 
connections, except some items (notably, computer name). And it probably 
needs to install somethings, which should be handled automatically, no 
matter what desktop you use (or even in text mode).


openSUSE is removing wicked in the future, going for NM only.
