Description of problem: Network Manager on by Default and broken when installed from the Live CD. I think the broken NetworkManager part is universal and relates to this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=134886 How reproducible: Consistently produced on 3 different machines. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the live cd to install fedora 8 2. chkconfig --list | grep -i network NetworkManger is on network is off 3. try to set a static IP in ifcfg-devname 4. restart network Actual results: dhclient is spawned when the link comes up ip link set dev ${REALDEVICE} up The ip settings are set appropriately. Then promptly get overridden by dhclient. Expected results: NetworkManager is off by default. The static IP is set.
there is another bug report at bugzilla.gnome.org that looks to be similiar to this report. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418745
