I believe you want to see this: NetworkManager 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off network 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off This should get a little easier in F9, since NetworkManager should run by default[1] and the network init script will not. So the default should make it much easier for people to follow John's suggestion to try NM first.
