Problems with F16 getting Ethernet Manual Mode

[Aaron Gray]

Hi,

Installed F16 and TFTP is working correctly now which is nice:)

Had problems with xinetd and tftpd on F14 and F15, had to use a work around
directly calling tftpd deamon.

Now I am having problems with my second ethernet controller as I am trying
to set it up to be a gateway.

Normal Ethernet configuration via the GUI is not allowing me to set
ethernet to Manual Mode. Basically the "Save" button is grayed out.

And if I set it to "Disabled", ifup does not work.

ifconfig and ifup results below.

Help, if its not one thing its another I have had to redo the configuration
for PXE several times now over past 8 months, from F14, to F15 and now to
F16.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
