Does anyone know if the following will be possible in FC5? I
am interested in being able to set up a portable Linux box such

Currently in Fedora Core 4, it seems that I am stuck with either
automatically enabling both interfaces at startup or manually
starting one or the other. What I am trying to avoid is having
both interfaces in use if the ethernet interface comes up at startup.
Thanks in advance for any information.

A good read on how to use NetworkManager can be found in the January
2005 edition of Red Hat Magazine. Find it here:

Works great on my T42 Thinkpad.
