12.11. Activating Devices
Network devices can be configured to be active or inactive at boot time.
For example, a network device for a modem connection is usually not
configured to start at boot time; whereas, an Ethernet connection is
usually configured to activate at boot time. If your network device is
configured not to start at boot time, you can use the Red Hat
Control Network program to activate it after boot time. To
start it, select (on the Panel) =>
=> or type the command
redhat-control-network.
To activate a device, select it from the list and click the
Activate button. To stop the device, select it
from the list and click Deactivate.
If more than one network profile is configured, they are listed in the
interface and can be activated. Refer to Section 12.12 Working with Profiles for details.
