On my desktop, I have DHCP available, but i use a static IP.
All I did was use sytem-config-network, and check 'start on boot' and
uncheck 'controlled by NM'. Does this not work for you guys?
I don't have access to DHCP over the wire (YET) but
system-config-network didn't work for me. It wouldn't save the proper
netmask and kept creating it's own. Both here at work and at home.
As I said, I have to file a bug report. Still trying to get caught up
on email and work from two weeks off for Xmas.
