The configuration option for a wired network (file
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0) contains the line "STARTMODE='onboot'".
Although this is OK for most situations, it fails in the case of someone
wanting to use the ifup method to configure a wireless connection using the
live media. Changing the line to read "STARTMODE='ifplugd'" will still work for
anyone wanting to use a wired connection, but still allow the wireless to be
configured and used with ifup.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Live medium
2. Unplug wired network
3.
Actual Results:  
Wireless network would not work.

Expected Results:  
I should be able to configure the wireless network.
