eth0 won't start without NM in F16

[Basher52]

These are my settings and works in F14.
Is there a bug in F16? no update are available as now right now.
or am I missing something else here.


ifconfig eth0

Seems I can't get the correct search words for google cos I can't find the correct answer to it.
I don't use NM as 'Void Main' once told me that he didn't so I don't either

Just found that from F15 they changed the naming for NICs, but there is nothing else but eth0.

Code: Select all

ls /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/
hosts ifcfg-eth0 network resolv.conf


Code: Select all

ls /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/
ifcfg-eth0


The only NIC I got after a start/restart is 'lo'
I can't ifup any emX but I can ifup this eth0

[Basher52]

Can't figure this one out so I'll reinstall

[Basher52]

Reinstalled, still named eth0, but I'll let that be, added a PCI NIC and that became named p1p1, which sounds OK.
Removed the Network Manager and now no one starts.

Been googling and asking about this but no answer that helps me out, is NM a necessity now?

[Void Main]

I use NetworkManager in Fedora 16. :) Of course I've only installed it on Laptops so far and it NetworkManager works well there.

[Basher52]

Then I gotta ask, why did you not use that in the previous versions? and what is the benefit of using it in the first place.
Think you even told me to not use that once so I always removed it but now it just won't work.
Now I just 'ifup' eth0 and p1p1 from /etc/rc.d/rc.local and that seems to work.
