    First, I am well aware that one can get eth0 not to come up on boot.
    But I was just trying to get Fedora to do what that dreaded M$
    operating system does, which is, that when it detects that the eth0
    interface is not connected does npt bring the interface up.

    But I still don't see why you don't bring up the interface by the
    command: ifup wlan0
