I'm sorry I have to disagree here, for two reasons: 1) People who installed F10 from DVD/CD have ONBOOT=no in their config because anaconda put it there. Their wired connections used to be brought up automatically by NM after logon, and this behaviour is *broken* now. A bugfix which breaks existing, desirable behaviour for existing users is a regression. 2) ONBOOT really ought to be about what's happening on boot only. If ONBOOT=no, don't bring up the interface during boot. If NM is allowed to manage the device, NM should bring it up after logon no matter what ONBOOT says. [1] So, if you want to change the default, go ahead and change it consistently (anaconda+nm) for F11, but please don't break existing default F10 installations. Michael [1] NM used to list these devices as "auto eth0" with editable config. Now they are listed as "system eth0" which can't be edited. Maybe that is the real root of the new behaviour? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
