Description of problem: ifdown, line 48 references a command(?) named is_nm_device_unmanaged which does not seem to be in my distribution (FC 14). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fully updated FC 14 system How reproducible: Happens every time I boot. Network doesn't come up so I have to do "service network restart". The message appears during this process. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: See description. Expected results: Network up.

What is your version of initscripts? # rpm -q initscripts is_nm_device_unmanaged is a function defined in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions Nonetheless, the problem with not starting a network connection is another issue. Can you post /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and /var/log/messages (for NetworkManager logs)? Output of 'nm-tool' is helpful too.
Jirka, Here's the information you requested. Thanks for your help. George... initscripts-9.20.2-1.fc14.1.i686

Well, the network connection is not activated by NM, because it is marked as unmanaged through the variable NM_CONTROLLED=no. If you want the eth0 to be controlled by NM, set this to yes or remove it completely from ifcfg-eth0.
Jirka, I don't have the time to become NetworkManager "trained". I've found that it changes things that I'm not expecting line resolv.conf. Shouldn't the initscripts be aware of this situation and adjust their behavior accordingly? Regards, George...
NetworkManager is simply a replacement for legacy 'network' service. When you activate NetworkManager, you don't have to use 'network' service and its ifup/ifdown commands (you use nm-applet GUI and/or nmcli command line tool). However, even if you use ifup/ifdown, initscripts detect that NetworkManager is running and call nmcli internally. resolv.conf is updated by NetworkManager. If you don't use it, resolv.conf can still be updated by dhcliet or other programs. BTW, your initial report was about missing is_nm_device_unmanaged. This is a function defined in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions and should be present in your initscripts version.
Jirka, Thanks for the info. This file does not have the function though. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions Should this bug be passed to the initscripts people? Here's the version that's on my system now. initscripts-9.20.2-1.fc14.1.i686 What would you recommend? Regards, George...
I've checked the package and it contains the function in network-functions file, at line 215. http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/initscripts/9.20.2/1.fc14.1/i686/initscripts-9.20.2-1.fc14.1.i686.rpm Well, you probably have the installation screwed up. Consider reinstalling initscripts first.
Jirka, I am dumfounded. I did a yum reinstall initscripts and now it's there. I wonder how that could have happened? Case closed I guess... Unless it happens again. THANKS for your help. George...
