I reinstalled the system yet again, and this time there was only one. I don't really like how NM affects the system; I think I'll disable it and edit the ifcfg file by hand (well, with a script). The ifcfg-eth0 is for when NM is disabled and ONBOOT should then be set to yes for this and no for the ifcfg-Wired_Connection_1 an this should be set by NM when you tell it not to manage this interface. There is another option I believe, something like NM_CONTROLLED=no, which if present in ifcfg causes NM to not attempt to control the device. For servers this should be present. I agree though that NM not automatically enabling all interfaces under it's control should be filed as a bug. -Ross -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
