On a freshly installed Fedora 19 system, "ip link" reports two interaces, em1 and p2p1. p2p1 is the primary network interface (the default route goes out over this link). However, system-config-network-tui only offers to configure the interfaces "enp2s0 (enp2s0)" and "enp3s0 (enp3s0)" in the device selection dialog. This is quite confusing. It would also help if the device selection dialog indicated which of the interfaces are actually up

Same here; this actually causes an additional problem for me: on my IPA server I disabled NetworkManager, and it seemed the network script is affected by this inconsistency in network device names, because the gateway specified in the network script (ifcfg-enp2s0) did not show up in the routing table and had to be added by hand
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
