This works nicely, thanks. I has to use it today since I re-installed F11 x86_64 on the same computer using the same DVD and although the Network Manager K tray applet (whatever this is called) was showing my wished static configuration for eth0 it never actually initilaized eth0. I had to do it manually, after several reboots. '/etc/init.d/networkManager restart' has never shown any errors. I guess I should've looked into the messages log file... In this case your advice worked well since the already proven network support is now in place instead of that rather flimsy new Network Manager. How 'they' (whoever that could be) can get networking configuration so wrong on a UNIX-like platform in 2009 is mind boggling.
