Looks like there are NO command line options on system-config-network.
Like -d eth0 or -d eth1
I used those alot when 2 network cards are in a box.
Can netconfig be brought back to life? Can I just install the one from 5.0 on new boxes?\
Upstream has effectively killed netconfig. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=383441, and also from the 5.1 upstream release notes:
#
pump is deprecated in this update. As such, configuring your network interface through netconfig may result in broken ifcfg scripts.
To properly configure your network interface, use system-config-network instead. Installing the updated system-config-network package removes netconfig.
You can use the netconfig from 5.0, but it may break on your at some point, and you'll have to exclude system-config-network from yum, as updating it will remove netconfig.
