I can't say for sure that it was not running before,
but if i read the mail from logwatch right, it was installed with
that update:

    ......

I make the update from the console (yum update), so i think
that there are dependencies with NetworkManager.

> Is your eth0 supposed to be your default route to the internet,

Yes. i only setup the default gateway address of the router.
I have seen that eth0 is more often switched on and off
during boot if NetworkManager is active and i first thought
that Fedora is trying to configure the route during the off
period.

No. I only do the default fedora network setup (ip, netmask, DNS,
Gateway). I never changed anything in the routing.

Thanks for replying and Best Regards,
