What does 'auto ethernet' selection do?
Pre-release questions should be directed to fedora-test list. NM has
two different settings for ethernet connections. The one called 'eth0'
inherits the settings from /etc/sysconfig/network* files. "Ethernet"
uses gconf to manage the settings. It is a classic vs new method
difference.

um ... its not pre-release, its out there.
Fedora 9 isn't out there yet. What is out there are test/development
releases.
Some major problems exist that I can see.
!!IF!! no prior version is installed before installing
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370:
1. eth0 is grayed out and unusable
2. There is no way to add a dial-up connection
a. prior releases would use dial-ups created by system-config-network
3. All connection edits are limited to Delete -- no add or modify.
Kinda tough to use it like this. Those who have connections already
configured before upgrading to this version will continue to be able to
use those connections, however, 2 and 3 still apply.
Please prove me wrong, my users are getting restless over this ...
I can't really provide you wrong since NM behavior is hardware specific.
Deploying a development release to new users isn't best practise. Do
file bug reports however.
