Sounds like you are running NetworkManager. For a server box, the simplest fix is usually: chkconfig --level 2345 NetworkManager off chkconfig --level 2345 network on reboot That switches to the traditional "network" service rather than NetworkManager (which appears to have been designed exclusively to flit from one wi-fi hotspot to another and will be another two or three releases getting itself backward compatible with server type usage :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
