NM in Fedora 8 wont connect to wired network

[mark lee <marklee_nospam yahoo co uk>]

Hi all,

Having a strange problem using Networkmanager in Fedora 8 - the wireless works fine so far (an improvement for me over Fedora 7) - but now the wired ethernet won't work!  The wired connection is not activated either when the ethernet is plugged in while wireless is operating, or even when i turn the wireless off, so that the wired network is the only one available.  Clicking the "wired" connection in the applet seems to do nothing (can't even detect that in the logs as far as i can see).  The ethernet connection is definitely working as it can be brought up manually.    Attached at the bottom of this email is a few lines from /var/log/messages which occur about eth0, and some configuration info.

Thanks for any help!

Mark
