I have my modem (ppp0) set to use dhcp and my ethernet card set to
static IP: 192.168.1.101, using network manager, but the SOB keeps
reverting eth0 back to 169.254.136.49. What's with that???
I have no clue, but it's annoying as all hell because I have a local net
with drive mounts to and from my other machines. Looks like some
hand-edits are in order. Best suggestions? Ric
Forget that lookup you did. 169.254........ addresses are link-local addresses
used by zeroconf to assign an address when the device is set to use DHCP to
get an address, but no DHCP server is available.

I can't speak to your setup, but, it sounds like your DHCP server is not
coming up before your card is attempting to be assigned an address.
NetworkManager doesn't (yet) do static addresses or start-on-boot. If
you want either of those, set
NM_CONTROLLED=no
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or set the appropriate
option in system-config-network).
??? I don't have that in any of my FC[678] machines, and they just have
the IP, NET, and NETMASK set. See ifcfg-lo for an example.
