Dear Maintainer,
I created a home LAN network without router. Between two computers via ethernet cable.

I had to remove conflicting configuration from /etc/network/interfaces.
Network Manager has to be restarted after doing this.
The manual (also version 2.127) suggests restarting NM with:

$ sudo systemctl restart network-manager

in: Chapter 5.2.1 GUI network configuration tools, (page 107 in version 2.127), list number 3.

However this is outdated and correct command in Debian 12 Bookworm is:

$ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

I suggest adding the current command with a short explanation.

My deepest gratitude to creator/creators of this manual.
Yours sincerely,
Sami Saarinen
