apt upgrade brings back network-manager

[freak]

All of our tinkers are rock solid after removing network-manager and going with wpa_supplicant.  Today I apt update/upgrade and it brought network-manager back which killed our connectivity.  When I apt remove network-manager it also is removing armbian-config which I don't want to happen.

 

armbian@term1:~$ sudo apt-mark hold network-manager
network-manager set on hold.


armbian@term1:~$ sudo apt install armbian-config

You could hide all options that depend on NM if it is not installed and move network-manager from dependencies to suggested package for armbian-config.
