NM causes network to go down

[Bjorge Solli <bjorge solli it uib no>]

Hi

I'm trying to set up NM on Fedora 8 x86 and used yum to install the 
NetworkManager[-gnome] packages.

If I use 'chkconfig NetworkManager on' or start NetworkManager manually 
with the init.d-script, it results in the eth0 (cabled network) going 
down. Is there a way to get it to keep the existing connections?

Regards
Bjorge
