Is you network card even loaded when you type "ifconfig -a" in the $hell? Give us more details as to what you are doing to get the DHCP address.

I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install.
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?

I'm away from the system now, so I can't post the output if ifconfig now, but basically I did a default installation from DVD and when the system booted the network was not available. That is somewhat unexpected behavior in my opinion. I expect the network to just work out of the box if a DHCP server is available on the network. It always did in CentOS 4 and 5 in the past.
