If this is on a school server, and you have only one NIC, the
network_config script has assumed that eth0 is the WAN.

Our networking setup is somewhat rigged (something that Jerry is
looking at curing for F9 :-) ) and according to Wad running netplugd
makes it trip up so we've disabled it. Maybe the usb connection
scripts start netplugd?

Once we are on F9 with a saner infrastructure, I do want to have a
sane way to support 3G modems. I'm not sure how to do it on F7 :-/ --

cheers,
