Yes, I started out using Network Manager (that's how Anaconda configured 
everything).
  But NetworkManager didn't run correctly due to SELinux issues.  So I 
went down the
  "no NetworkManager" path.

I will try turning Network Manager back on, now that I've got a 
fully-updated F9 image, and
  see whether it reliably brings up eth0 on reboot.
