This weekend I did a clean install of fedora 19 on my main workstation (I pulled the drive containing /, /tmp, and /var (plus swap) running fedora 17, and it's available to compare).

I didn't care for the installer changes since 17, but I got through it alive.

HOWEVER, I am now having some network problems (at least 2) and I think they are related.

The first sounds trivial and isn't. The system thinks its hostname is "nick" even though the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network say otherwise. That is, the hostname is set correctly there. Also a recursive grep through /etc finds no instance of the string "nick" anywhere (nor in /boot, /boot/grub2, etc).

Setting the hostname manually works up to a point but of course some things never reference the hostname after boot up and they are somewhat hosed.

The other main problem may be related - it's a network issue, probably connected with PackageKit. Every few minutes I am getting a message saying:
        No network connection available
        cannot refresh cache when offline

So I suspect that PackageKit may be hosed and may be trying to reference the wrong hostname.

I have a second problem but it's related to sound not network and I'll put it in a second post.

Thanks in advance for any help - yes I did a bugzilla search but if it's there I missed it, and I didn't see this problem in any email about fc19 (although I admittedly may have missed it).
