How To Install network-scripts on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install network-scripts on Fedora 36.
What is network-scripts
This package contains the legacy scripts for activating & deactivating of most network interfaces. It also provides a legacy version of ’network’ service. The ’network’ service is enabled by default after installation of this package, and if the network-scripts are installed alongside NetworkManager, then the ifup/ifdown commands from network-scripts take precedence over the ones provided by NetworkManager.
