After I upgraded to FC9, my eth0 connection started offline.
I manually turned the connection online but all my
applications start offline including Firefox, Evolution, and
Pidgin. Also, my Pidgin status is "Available waiting for
network connection." I disabled and enabled my accounts and
they all came up but my status didn't change. Is there a
setting I'm missing here? I've been with Fedora since 4 and
this is a new one for me.
Several people have been having problems with eth0 not coming up.
Disabling NetworkManager and enabling network using
system-config-services
fixed it for me.
*Or* make sure NM is actually managing your eth0 interface. In another
thread I pointed out that Evolution believes what NM says, and if NM
isn't managing the interface it says it's not online, even when it is.
Maybe the same is happening with the other apps.
In any case, the received wisdom is that using s-c-n and NM at the same
time is asking for trouble. Pick one or the other and stick with it.

I upgraded my x86_64 box, with reservations, using preupgrade. It worked
out all right so far but i have the same issue, that the network
interface does not start right away. However all I have to do is right
click the NM applet icon , clear the enable networking check box . Right
click, check enable networking and off we go onto the information
superhighway. Aside from that only an issue with cups has surfaced.
Things were better on the alpha box i had running for a while but that
one is not 64 bit, maybe that is the difference.
