OK, I just posted a reply to that. Btw, I just looked (with the GUI, which seems to use gedit) at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. There *are* a bunch in there with names like ifcfg-eth0, and the one I'm looking at resembles things I've had to be walked through editing in FC3 or 4 -- with entries like DEVICE=, ONBOOT=yes, and so on.
