Yes, of course I examined it right after rebooting with the new motherboard and not having any internet. So, I will tell you what I see, now that I do have internet (but I have to click the applet to get it to start): in the devices tab, I have my eth0 device, enabled, status active (I didn't click 'activate when computer starts', as I believe you were suggesting, and I am staying with DHCP); in hardware, my eth0 adaptor is correctly shown. All seems well here, as far as is possible to ascertain. What is curious, however, is that that other program, network device control, is completely blank. According to it, there are no network interfaces configured in the active profile! This seems odd, as I could swear that there was a device here before I swapped motherboards/ethernet adaptors. The program has no way for me to enter anything: I cannot activate, deactivate or configure what is not there! Does this suggest something, like why networkmanager applet is not connecting automatically without me expressly clicking to activate? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
