Non-sense it was NM that turned off eth0. Here is /var/log/message for 
the event:


    I by accident loaded NM on this computer which has only one source 
of the Internet from eth0. It was working fine and no problems until 
about 8AM when it appeared the Internet had failed. I could not get 
Google on my web browser. A hint I missed was that when I tried to reach 
my DSL modem with a call of 192.168.0.1 it failed. I know now it failed 
because eth0 was turned off by NM.



This is what /var/log/messages tells me:

    When a computer with just one source of Internet has that turned off 
by NM it is a serious Bug I think. Your better at reading the messages 
and perhaps you can find a reason I missed.
