Jesse, system-config-network worries me. The hardware tab tells me that my wired connection, Realtek 8101E, is eth1, but the devices tab says that it is eth0. I see there is a network script for ifcfg-eth0, but not eth1, so I guess that's the correct (as well as logical) one. Unless you have some ideas on something that I can manually edit to deal with this, I guess I need to file a bug. Anne
