In Fedora 10, NetworkManager is the default. If you run gnome, you should see a little network icon in the upper right. It probably has a red X through it. Click on it, and a NM dialog asking whether you want to activate the connection should come up. If you go into system->administration->services is NM active? How about network? Only one or the other should be active at a time. Can you configure the hardware from the dialog? You can poke around in /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to see if you find anything obviously wrong in the configuration. On the other hand, this *could* be a bug. When I ran F10 I didn't have a problem, but you might because of your hardware. If it is, go to <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com" target="_blank">http://bugzilla.redhat.com</a> and open a new one for your problem. <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" target="_blank"></a> </blockquote></div>thanks for your reply. since the system-config-network "activate" and "deactivate" button don't work, i use the network manager applet to activate the network interface, but there is also a problem in network manager , i can't use the "edit" button, it's grey. what i do now is edit the interface in system-config-network, save the changes, then activate the interface in network manager. this works, but somehow is a little inconvenient. -- Daniel Shi from CS.SCU
