fedora 8 network start behavior

[Jonathan Horne]

i just installed a fedora after a long pause with fedora (ive not looked at it 
since about FC4).  after a few live cds, i chose the live-kde-i386, and used 
it to do an install.  using yum, i finished off a package set im fairly happy 
with.

however, ive noticied that the eth0 doesnt become active until i finally log 
in...   not good!  primary function of this box will be to host my vmware 
server, so i need to be able to WOL the box, and expect normal "server" 
behavior.

what can i check or change to make sure the eth0 comes up without first 
logging on?

thanks,
