are not installing over the network, and thus your interface will not be
"autoconnect". If you do install over a network, then anaconda will
write and you will get autoconnect. That's the root cause
of your problem. Not sure how to fix it, because there are legitimate
reasons for not making all interfaces autoconnect when you don't do a
network install. Part of that is security; don't bring a network up
until you really need it, since connecting to a network makes a machine
less secure.
Not sure how to fix this, it's more of a policy decision at install-time
than anything technical.

I guess the question here is what if I was a "Joe SixPack" user who didn't know immediately to look in the settings what would I have done. Without network connectivity it is a little difficult to research the answer.
