+<a name="differences_from_network_legacy"></a><h2>Differences from the network-legacy dracut module</h2>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>nm-initrd-generator</strong></span> generates a set of
+    connections that are then configured by the NetworkManager
+    instance running in the initrd. There are some differences in
+    behavior compared to the network-legacy dracut module:</p>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem"><p>When an interface is configured with a static address
+        and a gateway, the network-legacy module waits that the
+        gateway responds to arping requests before proceeding, while
+        NetworkManager doesn't.</p></li>
+<li class="listitem"><p>network-legacy configures interfaces one by one in the
+        order in which they are announced by udev. If multiple
+        interfaces specify a hostname (from command line or from
+        DHCP), the one from the last interface activated wins. With
+        NetworkManager, hostnames from command line have higher
+        precedence over ones from DHCP, and the last that appears in
+        the command line wins.</p></li>
