However...I'm having a problem with NetworkManager scribbling a bizarre netmask into my *SUPPOSEDLY* static address info for eth0. I get it configured, and it works for a while, then I end up with dns lookup failures. When I go to NetworkManager I find it has duplicated the gateway address (192.168.1.1) into the netmask entry also. Getting static addressing to work under NetworkManager has been nothing short of a hair-pulling experience. The folks working NetworkManager need to understand that not *ALL* linux boxes will travel...some are single-purpose boxes on networks that have a security policy that mandates static addressing. When one checks the static address button, NetworkManager must absolutely stop scribbling in places it shouldn't!!!!
