-.SH "DIFFERENCES FROM THE NETWORK\-LEGACY DRACUT MODULE"
-.PP
-\fBnm\-initrd\-generator\fR
-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:
-.sp
-.RS 4
-.ie n \{\
-\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
-.\}
-.el \{\
-.sp -1
-.IP \(bu 2.3
-.\}
-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\*(Aqt\&.

-.sp
-.RS 4
-.ie n \{\
-\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
-.\}
-.el \{\
-.sp -1
-.IP \(bu 2.3
-.\}
-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\&.

-\fBib\&.pkey\fR=\fIPARENT\fR\&.\fIPKEY\fR
-argument to set up an Infiniband partition on IPoIB parent device
-\fIPARENT\fR
-using the specified partition key
-\fIPKEY\fR\&. The partition key must be in hexadecimal notation without leading "0x", for example "ib\&.pkey=ib0\&.8004"\&.
