f15 :: how to activate the network to start at boot

[Adrian Sevcenco]

Hi! So .. overall fedora (and fedora 15) is an extraordinary distro from
the point of view of KDE integration (of which i am completely dependent
for work (development) as for personal tasks(multimedia))
From some other points .. its a pain ..
For example ... NetworkManager is a piece of !@#$ it doenst see any
wireless even if tools like Wireless Assistant or WiFi Radar (2.0.s08)
see a lot of APs .. in order to make my wireless to work i have to
remove the NetworkManager packets .. now wireless is working and with
WiFi Radar i can connect over wireless ..
Now the problem is that over the wire the network service is not
starting automatically and after the boot i have to start the service by
hand ...
The exact question is : how is done in systemd (other piece of ..
wisdom) to automatically start a service? it seems tha chkconfig is not
working ... and ALSO THE SYSTEM-CONFIG-SERVICES IS NOT WORKING!!!!!!!
I apologize for my tone, but frustration is great when so great
opposites (greatly done distro) and some not-thought-enough-through
choices are colliding head to head ..
Thank you,
Adrian

Take it easy, it's just a common thing, as root run:

chkconfig network on

service network start

The first one will make sure that the network service starts every
time you boot the machine && the second will start it immediately if
you haven't done so.

A few years ago I myself get rid of Network Manager & used only the
iwconfig tool ( I wrote down a little script) to connect to my home &&
work. Right now is more reliable so I don't know what could be your
scenario.

Regarding system-config-services don't worry about it. Use chkconfig
it's simple, faster &&  more reliable. Just read man 8 chkconfig and
you'll get it in no time.

Regards,

Edik

thanks .. i usually use this commands but for some reason i was under
the impression that chkconfig is not workable anymore as his settings
are going to be overwritten anyway by systemd
so, at least for network, chkconfig worked

thanks,
