Check, got it. Will test tonight. 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.
Unlikely. New users will have newly-written configs, and
NetworkManager handles setup of static interfaces from ifcfg-eth0 just
fine. No need to enable 'network' unless you're doing something that
NM doesn't understand. In that case you've probably got it enabled
already, and I'm almost certain we don't interfere in that case.
Stuff that was installed *during* the F9 rawhide cycle may have gotten
some weird configs in there which throw this off a bit. But new users,
and people upgrading from F8, should be just fine.
