Updates broke networking today

[sonoran]

After getting updates and rebooting my F15 no longer has a network connection.

There are 158 systemd bugs and 480 "network" bugs at Fedora bugzilla.

I guess I was "lucky" that only Empathy stopped working after I updated yesterday.

Yeah, it doesn't look good, but we can only hope that at least the worst bugs are gone when the final release is ready for d/l.

I was only able to get networking back by downgrading some of the updates from my yum cache. I suspected systemd so I did those first separately and then rebooted, but still no network. Then I did the rest all at once, excluding xorg, report, selinux & gstreamer, rebooted, and networking was working again.

So, in either the audit, uuid, blkid, libmount, util-linux, gobject-introspection, biosdevname or iproute updates, there is a bug lurking.

Got to expect this sort of thing in a Beta. (don't see a smiley for banging one's head against a wall)
