For the record - I figured this out so am sharing the result for posterity:The issue was that I didn't follow the instructions literally. Since, once booted, my primary NIC name was "em1" I assumed I had to create an initscript called ifcfg-em1 rather than ifcfg-eth0 as described in the doc.
Once I renamed that script to ifcfg-eth0 (and changed the DEVICE value in the file to match), all is well. It does indeed appear to be a timing issue due to the "Predictable Network Interface Names" feature and when its NIC name musical chairs dance begins.
I have had more problems due to that one feature than anything else in recent memory. It is a misnomer if ever there was one. Even the docs related to it are incorrect (for Fedora 19, creating the symlink described at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ doesn't have the expected result of disabling the feature).
Thanks,
Bob

Hi, When I initially boot my system, it fails to bring up the network.Once booted, if I run "systemctl restart network.service", or even stop, wait a while, then start, it starts up fine and all is well.I'm running Fedora 19 (updated). I followed the instructions on this page to set up a bridged network: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/NetworkingI note however that I did *not* have any bridge (for NAT use) configured initially by default on my system, and followed the directions on this page to create it:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualizationI have disabled the NetworkManager service, and created network initscripts for my em1 and br0 interfaces.I notice from the systemctl status output, that the network failure is logged, and only *after* that the br0 interface comes up. So I wonder if there is some ordering problem in spite of the fact that I have specified DELAY=0 for br0.I have included output from the following commands: systemctl status network.service (initially, when failed to come up) brctl show ip link ip address Also attached are the network initscripts for my em1 and br0 interfaces. Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thanks, Bob
