And under the category of "It isn't broken, so let's fix it" (thanks Red Hat Morons, yes morons, because in all of the documentation available no one has any good reason why the old system really needed replacing), say hello to NetworkManager | |||

* yum install network-scripts --enableprepo=devel (this gets back stuff like "service network restart") | |||
* ifup (just run the command and it will offer to install the necessary files) | |||
