New Fedora9 Installation and Networking

[Mike Rathburn]

I'm attempting to test out LTSP5.  Installed Fedora 9 i386.  Used
default settings throughout installation, except for the network
interfaces use:

eth0 - Static - 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1
eth1 - Static - 192.168.1.25/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1

Followed instructions exactly as posted here:
http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#AEN537

and then here for 'A Permanent Network Setup':
https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/NetworkSetup

Note that during this entire install process networking is fine,
internet updates are being successfully made.

Rebooted.

When the machine boots up, there is no networking.  Log into the GUI
console, notice that Network Manager icon in the upper right is
inactive.  From what I've read that's a good thing (?).

I navigate to System -> Administration -> Network, and notice that all
three network devices are 'Inactive'.

eth0 - Inactive
eth1 - Inactive
ltspbr0 - Inactive

If I click on eth0, then choose Activate, nothing happens.  If I
choose eth1 and Activate, it works.  If I choose ltspbr0, it
activates.

After doing the above, networking now works in the sense that the
machine can see the internet.  Plugged in a thin client (Diskless
Workstations T1420 PXE) into what I'm thinking is the 192.168.0.x
network switch configured for the TC's, and it's not getting DHCP.
Looking at /var/log/messages, I see:

Nov 17 11:15:59 ltsp avahi-daemon[2175]: Joining mDNS multicast group
on interface ltspbr0.IPv4 with address 172.31.100.254.
Nov 17 11:15:59 ltsp avahi-daemon[2175]: New relevant interface
ltspbr0.IPv4 for mDNS.
Nov 17 11:15:59 ltsp avahi-daemon[2175]: Registering new address
record for 172.31.100.254 on ltspbr0.IPv4.

So I've obviously missed something.

1. The interfaces aren't starting at system startup.
2. Can't activate eth0 at all.
3. TC not getting DHCP to boot up.

Where did I go wrong?  Thanks!
