Upon re-booting the laptop this morning at the office, I noticed that there was no eth0, only eth0.bak (there is a wlan0 and now a wlan0.bak). Also, now I CANNOT edit any Device settings via system-config-network as root. I can click the buttons on/off etc. but it will not let me save anything. Not sure what is preventing editing (I've disabled NetworkManager and killed nm-applet and wpa-supplicant.) I am able to connect to the wired network (and wireless networks). I've also noticed that now, for the first time in Fedora 8, NetworkManager includes a button for wired network (always had this in Fedora 6 before updating to Fedora 8). Rick B.
