[CentOS] KVM Client NetworkManager Problem

[mark]

I have *no* idea how you wrote that email, but STOP IT. ONLY send plain
text email to this list.

Several times, I tried to reply, and *nothing* of your email was in the
reply. I had to copy and paste the original. And then I had to manually
insert line breaks and ">".

First, you can enable the network.service, and leave NetworkMangler disabled.

Second, you may want to force the name for the NIC (as opposed to letting
the default idiotic exy##xyx#).

Static address: you can do that one of two ways: first, to set a static IP
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-exx$, or you can set it to
BOOTPROTO=DHCP, but then have your dhcp server give it the same IP every
time, based on its MAC address (we do that latter here).

Hope that helps.
