Description Warren Togami 2008-03-13 20:17:23 UTC 
[root@caprica ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Intel Corporation 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile)
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:11:25:d4:83:bb
ONBOOT=no
DHCP_HOSTNAME=caprica

I deleted "Auto Ethernet" from gconf.

Bug: Plugging in Ethernet cable still automatically connects despite ONBOOT=no.
 This is a bug according to dcbw.
Comment 1 Warren Togami 2008-03-13 22:27:02 UTC 
Dan figured out that this happens because inotify is watching the file in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles instead of network-scripts/, meaning inotify
only triggers a re-parse of the ifcfg file if system-config-network made the
change which then hardlinks the file from the profile into network-scripts/.  He
is considering having NM look directly at network-scripts but there were other
issues having to do with search domain and hostname that need to be figured first.
Comment 2 Warren Togami 2008-03-24 20:12:22 UTC 
Dan this should be fixed now right?
Comment 3 Dan Williams 2008-03-25 13:09:10 UTC 
Yeah, should be fixed in latest koji F9 NM to read from
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, not from /.../profiles/default, which was the
issue here.
