When performing an installation, you are given the option to setup
networking for the installer.  Those same options also apply for the
installed system.  So if you use networking during the installation, it
should also set it up for the installed system.  If you perform a
non-network install (DVD), and don't actively configure networking
during installation, your installed system will not automatically enable
networking.  You can manually enable networking on the installed system
using the preferred Network utility (nm-connection-editor in GNOME).
