Description Steve Whitehouse 2009-03-26 16:50:45 UTC 
I have the following network set up:

ifcfg-eth0:

# Intel Corporation 82545GM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:14:22:4b:62:95
ONBOOT=yes
SEARCH="chygwyn.com"
PROTO=static
MTU=9000
IPADDR=10.44.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

ifcfg-eth0.5:

DEVICE=eth0.5
ONBOOT=yes
VLAN=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
MTU=1500
PEERDNS=no

ifcfg-eth0.6:

DEVICE=eth0.6
ONBOOT=yes
VLAN=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.100.100.254
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
MTU=1500

This works perfectly ok provided I don't enable NetworkManager. If I do then I discover that the config for eth0.6 has also been written to eth0 for some strange reason.

I think it would be a good plan to disable NetworkManager by default until it can actually cope with real network configurations. I've installed a number of boxes with recent versions of Fedora and the only thing they all have in common is that none of them would work until I turned NetworkManager off.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.
