network config

[Thomas Schweikle]

Hi!

After consulting the handbook and various further internet sites I
am a bit lost:

starting up my fedora system it only activates network interface lo.
no other network interface is brought up until I login and start it
with "ifup eth0".

Quite bad, if you expect to reach the system via ssh. Any idea how
I'll get that interface up together with the machine, without having
a user login and activate it?

I have
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=tola.fritz.box

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
TYPE=Ethernet

Rebooting doesn't enable eth0, only lo.

Do you have "network" enabled to run on boot?

"chkconfig network on"    # enable network scripts on boot
"service network start"   # start the network now

What's the output of "chkconfig --list network"?

Please be sure you have a cable connected to the NIC. You can check with
ifconfig eth0 (look for the RUNNING label) or using ethtool.

Right click on the NM-applet. Then choose a connction and click edit. In
the lower lrft corner click Available to all users, and you should get
the behavior you want. This is done by default on wired connectionws.

To do this of course you need to have the connection NM_CONTROLLED.
