First of all, the icon says it's not managed. Second of all, when I open 
System/Preference/Network config the little window is empty; no network 
listed.  Until now I haven't risked adding one with the proper 
settings, because the proper settings ARE working.

However I just tried.

I created an entry, set it for dhcp (the default), saved it. And 
rebooted the entire system.

Well, now the entry is there, but the Network is ignoring it; it's still 
not manageable.

I'm giving up on the install.  I'm trying an install from a different 
magazine; one where I know the editor.  I'll write again later.
