Is anyone successfully using the network service + system-config-network

To be more precise, has anyone found themselves NOT connected with WiFi,
and found the problem solved by running system-config-network?

Yes. Easily 95% of my systems are hard-wired and use system-config-
network (well, make that "service network start"). They're all using
fixed IPs, though.

I don't think "service network restart" and "system-config-network"
are by any means equivalent.
In my experience, one may well work when the other doesn't.
It's a complete gamble, in my experience.

These two things are somewhat unrelated. service network restart
starts the network service which in general should not be running if is
NM is running.

system-config-network is a program to configure network files and
activate them.
