This is presumably in the release notes, which I admit to not having read, having never previously been bitten by stuff in the release notes in the last several iterations of Fedora, which I've stuck with since FC2. Right. Got home, explicitly enabled Network, and the interface came up on boot. Should have read the release notes, I guess. This change will, I think, confuse users a tad. (Or maybe just the easily-confused?? :-) :-) ). I'm used to having the turn on NetworkManager after I do the initial install, if that's appropriate. Like for roving laptops, and desktops where the assigned address doesn't need to be static, etc. With having NetworkManager turned on by default, and having Network turned *off* by default, users trying to set static, and turn off NM, will trip over this, I think. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
