Linux behaving like Windoze ;(

Hello there,
i have a PC with Fedora Core Devel configured. In this i have 2 network
cards: one is Realtek wired 10/100, the other one is Wireless LG 11Mbps
(Prism II). With wired everything is OK. With wireless, there is a small
problem: sometimes, something is OVERWRITING or ERASEING config for it -
ifcfg-eth1 - changes to dhcp, loses wireless settings etc, or disapears
completly. Copying file from backup and restarting eth1 brings it back
to life, but does not solve the problem. It happens at boot time.

How to find what process is changing my configuration??

Sounds like something that kudzu could do.

Devel what? You're using an alpha version? And you still complain?

Don't think it's alpha, most of software if "marked" fc6, some fc7, so
they are candidates for next (7th) release.

THX,
I have had it enabled, now I disable kudzu and will wait if symptom repeats.

Look at the date and time to find out exactly when it is happening. Look at
the log files ( messages) to see exactly where in the boot process this is
happening, if indeed it is in the boot process.

candidates does not mean they are elected yet. There is a huge gap between
candidate and election as many persidential hopefuls have discovered. You
are using alpha software. Find out what is causeing this and file a bug
report. If you want something know with high probability to use do NOT use
alpha software.

Has it been released?
NO!
Is it around for testing purposes only?
YES!
Do you have the right to complain for a test release?
NO!
Have you eventually filled a but report at Bugzilla?
NO!
