However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP address from our DHCP server. I've seen the FAQ on the wiki and the interface is up, but it doesn't get an IP address. I've done the installation from DVD multiple times now, each time with the same result. What am i missing?
Unless I am mistaken (only tried one manual install some time ago), I kind of remember the need to check an "activate at boot" box in the network properties at setup time...
