I have a hard-wired ethernet connection. I'm trying to get Fedora 19

Here's the entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

NAME="eno1"
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL="no"
TYPE="Ethernet"
ONBOOT="yes"
PEERROUTES="yes"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_PEERDNS="yes"
PEERDNS="yes"
HWADDR="E8:40:F2:05:DE:1C"
#BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPV6_DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
IPV6_PEERROUTES="yes"

IPADDR="198.168.20.5"

It's basically what the install gave me with the addition of IPADDR
and
removal of UUID (which seems to change) BOOTPROTO has changed from
dhcp to
static.

My problem is that I can't connect to the device, despite nm-tool

Define "connect to the device".

Comparing that to my own ifcfg, you are missing the PREFIX and NETMASK

settings:

YPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
PREFIX=24
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="Auto lan0"
UUID=fc87afd5-ca26-4881-b7f1-7bdcbea29f1f
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=BC:AE:C5:49:B9:3D
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DEVICE=lan0
USERCTL=no

My static configuration for my WAN port also includes the GATEWAY
setting,
giving the IP address of my ISP's router, on the other side of the
bridged
connection.

Define "connect to the device". Conventional Ethernet cable.  About 5 feet.

NETMASK I can do.  What's the function of PERFIX? I notice refenences to

Have a look at /usr/share/doc/initscripts/sysconfig.txt from the initscripts package:
--------------------------------
     PREFIXn=
      Network prefix.  It is used for all configurations except aliases
      and ippp devices.  It takes precedence over NETMASK when both
      PREFIX and NETMASK are set.
--------------------------------

)I've found that /usr/share/doc/initscripts/sysconfig.txt is a very useful resource when one is trying to understand/edit ifcfg-* files).
