NetworkManager and dhcpcd service

Hi.

When I tried to configure NetworkManager, I disabled and stopped dhcpcd services.

I have dhcpcd package in list of packages.

Do it means, that NetworkManager uses own dhcp service and do I can delete dhcpcd package?

Re: NetworkManager and dhcpcd service

That is correct. I'd still keep dhcpcd (or dhclient) around since the NetworkManager internal client sometimes has a few problems. I never entrust my internet connection to a single point of failure, but have a second (manual) procedure prepared.
