Then could you tell me, please, how to fix an issue I've got with a server running F-9 that has a static IP address? I've edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. It contains (among other settings): DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no IPADDR=xx.xx.xx.xx Everything works fine *except* that ONBOOT=yes is not honored. On boot, eth0 is not up. I have to go login to the machine's console and "ifup eth0" before I get a network connection. After that it behaves perfectly. This wasn't so much of a problem when the machine in question was 50 feet from my desk, but it is currently 45 miles from my desk and that IS a problem.
