F9 and NetworkManager?

[Knute Johnson]

I installed F9 on an old computer that only has 256M of RAM.  I did a 
text mode install and it worked fine.  One interesting thing is that if 
you do a text mode install, gdm is apparently not installed.  Anyway, 
when I start up X, the NetworkManager is running but it doesn't enable 
my wired connection.  I've played around with the menus and put in the 
MAC address but that had no effect.  I'm sure I'm missing something 
simple but I need a hint.

Thanks,
