I had problems getting back to the original static IP on a permanent

would make it invisible to the network, but oddly enough, that didn't
work.  Deleting the temporary config altogether solved my problem.

The scripts that process the network config files look for any files
that start with ifcfg- and assume whatever follows that is the interface
name.

If you want to have the file ignored, rename it to old.ifcfg-????
instead of ifcfg-????.old
