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.
