Fedora 15 - Network Management Issues

"The moment we upgrade our OS, the very first thing we want is our internet to be working. In we don't, its a weird feeling of being reborn and fighting to get an eyesight!!!"......KD

========================================================
PLEASE NOTE:- Due to changes in Fedora 15, network device names are no longer named as eth devices. They will use pXpY where the X and Y are numbers which correspond to your specific system's pci slot number and port number. Hence network device names may be different among different hardware.

========================================================

If you did NOT select Configure Network during CD/DVD installation, then the network will not be online by default. To fix this, make either of the following changes:

========================================================


Option 1: 
EDIT: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pXpY and change ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes.

Option 2: 

• In Gnome, [Right-Click] on the Networking icon in the top left of the toolbar.
• Select Edit Connections....
• Select System pXpY and click Edit...
• Check Connect automatically and click Apply.
• Enter 'root' password when prompted.

========================================================










Do leave your comments so that i would be able to know if this works for everyone. coz, it did for me.
If it doesn't, i'll try to find an alternate solution.
