Do your /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-ethX files have the line
"NM_CONTROLLED=no" in them?

I always disable and uninstall NetworkManager just on principle. :)

FWIW, here's my /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 from F10. I had
to manually edit it to get a static IP working (it's a known bug in F10),
and it does bring up eth0 at boot:

# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:18:bc:37:69:b4
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.1.254
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
DNS1=68.87.77.130
DNS2=68.87.72.130
DOMAIN=sothfd01.mi.comcast.net
NM_CONTROLLED=no

I also put this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0:

GATEWAY0=19.168.1.1
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=192.168.1.0

By the way, since the default installation for F10 is broken if you
want to use static IP's, there is a way to set up a static IP at
install time at the "boot:" prompt when using the install media:
boot: linux askmethod

Alternatively, you could set the network info at the boot prompt:
<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/ap-admin-options.html>
See section A.1.4, "Manually Configuring the Network Settings".
