Hi, I just rebooted my FC14 x86_64 desktop, and there's no networking. I have a bridge set up with eth0, and despite my best efforts, can't get eth0 to be "active" in "Network Device Control". The activate/deactive buttons are greyed out. At one point I was able to click Activate, but even then it wouldn't actually activate it. For now, I've just run "ifup br0" and it successfully acquired a DHCP address. I've tried variations of "Controlled by NetworkManager" and other ideas I've read in similar threads (mostly from a few years ago), with no success. Here are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=48:5b:XX:61:b5:5c ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp TYPE=Ethernet NM_CONTROLLED=yes USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no ifcfg-br0: DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 IPV6INIT=no USERCTL=yes There are a few syslog entries in messages that might help: Jan 8 17:55:06 alex NetworkManager[17711]: <error> [1294527306.847724] [nm-dbus-manager.c:338] nm_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManager service as it is already taken.

Where can I find a good overview of how this all works and interacts with udev? I would like to learn everything about it eventually, but for now where can I learn the basics about how it makes decisions on how the networking works?
