system-config-network-tui may wind up becoming necessary. Through RH
5.x it was enough to manually edit the necessary files. However, in
later versions of Fedora, this may cause errors because there will be
some other scripts or files elsewhere, that system-config-network-tui
manipulates. Meanwhile, Fedora is trying to make NetworkManager the
default interface handler, (and there is apparently a command line
version.) I know I'm old and cranky, but to me, it just seems like
those meddlesome kids with their newfangled smartphones and touch
screens are taking over development, and that many of them just don't
care about the sysadmin portion of use.
Interestingly, even when I use system-config-network-tui (at least on
CentOS 6.2) I still had to manually edit the ONBOOT network parameter in
/etc/sysconfig for my Ethernet to be enabled at startup.
Not sure if there is something in the menu system that would do that for
me...
