IIRC, Fedora - and other distributions -

I have an ifcfg-eth0 which is completely ignored
by "service network restart" and even "ifup eth0".
How does Fedora now decide what interfaces to try to bring up?
"service network start|restart" depends on having an "ONBOOT=yes" line
in the ifcfg-eth0 file. If you can type in "ifup eth0" and the card
comes up, then you probably have "ONBOOT=no" or no line in the file.
I'm pretty sure I tried "ifup eth0" in this case,
and it didn't work.
One of the many annoying things about WiFi
is the way several programs modify ifcfg-<xyz>.
I don't mind programs like system-config-<whatever> doing this,
after all you are asking for it in such a case,
but I'd really prefer if anyone wants to alter my /etc/files
if they would ask me first, or at least tell me what they have done ...
