RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-07-01 20:58:56 UTC
Description of problem:

I installed RHEL 6 beta 2 in the "Desktop" configuration in a
virtual machine with a single network interface:

  eth0: RTL-8139C+ at 0xffffc900010f4000, 52:54:00:59:59:05, IRQ 11

Anaconda(?) configures it like this:

  ><fs> cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
  DEVICE=eth0
  HWADDR=52:54:00:59:59:05
  ONBOOT=no
  NM_CONTROLLED=no

This means NetworkManager cannot see it, and there is no visible
way to configure this interface through the GUI (eg. Preferences ->
Network Connections does nothing useful).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL 6 beta 2

How reproducible:

Happened once.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 6 beta 2 using virt-install:
virt-install -v -n RHEL6beta2x64 --accelerate -r 2048 -f /dev/vg_trick/RHEL6beta2x64 --cdrom RHEL6.0-20100622.1-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso 
2. Select "Desktop" configuration.
3. Continue install, firstboot, login.
  
Actual results:

No network, NetworkManager does nothing useful.

Expected results:

Network should work by default.
