 Looking over what he did - it seems he used network manager to config
the connection (or at least edited the ifcfg files which NM owns) ..
then changed them and started network service on top - so both network
services are now competing which is a right old mess.

 He chose to revert to f11 instead of just turning off NM for some
reason ...

 I think he should have turned off NM and gone about his merry way ..

 But its not my machine!
