Subject: bug#925: Excalibur: NetworkManager doesn't mount NFS resources from fstab

Package:    network-manager
Version:      1.52.1-1devuan1

On a fresh-install of Devuan6 excalibur, after having installed nfs-common,
NFS-resources listed in /etc/fstab are not mounted.
This could be remedied by copying a file from Devuan5 daedalus to the new
system.
The missing file: /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01-ifupdown
No error or failed-entries can be found in the system-logs (dmesg, syslog,
boot) about network-manger or NFS.

The system was plainly standard-installed using the Devuan-installer
(excalibur), selecting these options:

   - Devuan desktop environment
   - Cinnamon
   - Console productivity
   - SSH server

I'm now using
Linux [hostname] 6.12.48+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian
6.12.48-1 (2025-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux
lsb_release: Devuan GNU/Linux 6 (excalibur)
This system is connected by Ethernet, not wifi.
