Yeah, notting closed as NOTABUG since we're defaulting to NetworkManager
for now.  Which means I'm curious why NM wasn't bringing up the network.

Do you have any ifcfg-* files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ?

Do you have ONBOOT=yes in your ifcfg files?

Would also be good to get /var/log/messages after it's booted up to see
what's going on.
