I am guessing it added the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

There is no ifcfg-eth0 on any of my F21 test builds.  In fact there is none on my F20 notebooks (or whatever the device name for the ethernet adapter is for each notebook).  It seems this is no longer created by default.  Which is a pain, because if you use system-config-network, it does not work for the interface until you create at least a default content ifcfg-<device name> file.

There should be a line in the ifcfg-eth0 file, and changing

_ONBOOT_=no to _ONBOOT_=yes 

should fix the immediate problem.

Yes. If there was an ifcfg-eth0, I would expect to see an _ONBOOT_=yes line.

There is a line with the mac address (HWADDR) and one with the UUID.

MACaddr is now in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules which also does not exist be default anymore.  I have a script that another fellow gave me that can create one.  I have used it on my production F20 cubieboard2 to control the MACaddr and such.

I thought I read where these files were originally missing, in one of the boot logs, but it maybe I have the wrong one, or maybe the  HWADDR or device is wrong and it is being reconstructed with the correct information on the second boot.? I don't know. :)

I know they are not there.  If you want to deviant from defaults, you have to build them yourself.

So tried:

So I now have a working ethernet.  But I poweroff and poweron:

# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 5a:d5:ab:5f:50:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Note the different MAC addr on new boot.

Note the different IP address due to the different MACaddr.

Now I am part of the IEEE 802 MAC privacy study group where we are
discussing randomizing MAC addresses for privacy reasons, but I keep
exhausting my DHCP pool with each boot!  This test, I did not. There was
NO DHCP query on poweron until I restarted NetworkManager.

What test next?
