Hi all,
i have updated FC8 at may, 14. After that my network was broken. eth0 was up but there was no proper setup of the route. After /etc/init.d/network restart everything was fine (since the next reboot).
It seems to me that NetworkManager Daemon make worse things?
Is this a new daemon?
Best Regards,
Carsten Breuer

Nope; it's been around since FC3 at least. Had you turned NetworkManager on before May 14th? It wasn't turned on in F8 by default, so if it's running now then either (a) you turned it on, or (b) I messed up the packaging and it's getting turned on in the %post or something.
Is your eth0 supposed to be your default route to the internet, and do you have a list of custom routes defined for the eth0 device when it's brought up?

Hi Dan, hi all,

I can't say for sure that it was not running before, but if i read the mail from logwatch right, it was installed with that update:

I make the update from the console (yum update), so i think that there are dependencies with NetworkManager.
Is your eth0 supposed to be your default route to the internet,
Yes. i only setup the default gateway address of the router. I have seen that eth0 is more often switched on and off during boot if NetworkManager is active and i first thought that Fedora is trying to configure the route during the off period.
and do you have a list of custom routes defined for the eth0 device when it's brought up?
No. I only do the default fedora network setup (ip, netmask, DNS, Gateway). I never changed anything in the routing.
Thanks for replying and Best Regards,
Carsten
