SNIP
I almost hate to bring this topic up again because it was beaten to
death earlier. However…I’m having a problem with NetworkManager
scribbling a bizarre netmask into my *SUPPOSEDLY* static address info
for eth0.
I get it configured, and it works for a while, then I end up with dns
lookup failures. When I go to NetworkManager I find it has duplicated
the gateway address (192.168.1.1) into the netmask entry also.
Getting static addressing to work under NetworkManager has been nothing
short of a hair-pulling experience. The folks working NetworkManager
need to understand that not *ALL* linux boxes will travel…some are
single-purpose boxes on networks that have a security policy that
mandates static addressing. When one checks the static address button,
NetworkManager must absolutely stop scribbling in places it shouldn’t!!!!

This is interesting as I was trying to setup a static IP using
system-config-network and had the same problem. I was not using Network
Manager because I need my network live at all times.
I thought Network Manager was doing this at first but I don't even have
Network Manager installed on this machine.
It looks like there is a bug in the network configuration scripts that
don't set the correct netmask.
