i just installed a fedora after a long pause with fedora (ive not looked at it since about FC4). after a few live cds, i chose the live-kde-i386, and used it to do an install. using yum, i finished off a package set im fairly happy with. however, ive noticied that the eth0 doesnt become active until i finally log in... not good! primary function of this box will be to host my vmware server, so i need to be able to WOL the box, and expect normal "server" behavior. what can i check or change to make sure the eth0 comes up without first logging on? thanks, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org linux08 _@_ dfwlp.com
