I have a love-hate relationship with NetworkManager on Fedora. I love it on my netbook for the ease it provides when trying to connect to wireless networks. However, I hate it on my dual-NIC workstation at work as it always mangles the connections and tries to route traffic through eth1 when eth0 is the primary network. As such, my favourite commands of the moment are:
chkconfig NetworkManager off
chkconfig network on
Then, a quick change to
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
in order to add the correct nameservers, gateway, and IP addresses, and life is good!
