recent traffic on this list has had one or more reports
of using static ip with networkmanager.

I also still have a working f10, that used static ip ,
but with network, not networkmanager.

To change to static ip in my f12,  but using networkmanager
is it sufficient to use a copy of my f10  ifcfg-eth0:

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:xx..............
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.2.8
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
TYPE=Ethernet
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes

in place of present f12:

[byers at f12 ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:xx..............
ONBOOT=yes

?
then just
service  NetworkManager restart

is that ok,  complete?

thanks
Jack
or more steps needed?
