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

No, I haven't changed (yet).  NM looks promising, but the messages when
switching to it in yast (even *before* 'Apply') scared me off, since
right now I did not want to spend the time investigating if something
went wrong.  However, I will try it on the next OS release update (15.5
is already released).

Sounds like 'nmcli' is the tool in question.

Good to know.
