-- Compatible with NetworkManager (automatically set interface as unmanaged)
-- You can run many instances, to create many different networks. Has instances managing feature.
+- Detect and prevent interference from following Linux system daemons:
+  - NetworkManager (handle interface (un)managed status)
+  - firewalld (use temporary `trusted` zone)
