Hi,
On a spare drive, I did a vanilla install of FC2. All is happy and well
(except for my mouse not working). No problems with networking or anything
like that.
This leads me to suspect that one of the rawhide updates has screwed my
system which I was unaware of as I've not done a reset in ages.
A few odd things have happened though
/sbin/ifdown eth0 is fine
/sbin/ifup eth0 gives this
Determining IP information for device eth0 ... SIOCADDRT file exists
Done
RTNETLINK reports : Invalid argument
/sbin/route -n looks okay
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
^^^^^^^
This is the problem. The current DHCP package is broken in that it
doesn't set the default gateway properly. You can manually fix it by:
route del default
route add default gw <router ip address> eth0
