NetworkManager does not show eth0 in GUI, but ifconfig does

Hello,

I am new here and not sure if anyone can help me. Today I upgraded from 6.6 to 6.7. The upgrade seemed to have gone without any issues. Only for me to find out that for some reason domain names didn't resolve anymore on the server. Then I checked the Network Settings under System -> Preference (GUI) and saw that the eth0 wired interface is no longer listed. I did an ifconfig and eth0 is there and showing up there with all the previously configured IP numbers. Then I read to turn off and disable NetworkManager and just turn on and enable network:

chkconfig NetworkManager off
service NetworkManager stop
chkconfig network on
service network start

I did that and then a restart and now things are working once again as they should, however eth0 is still not showing in the GUI System -> Preferences -> Network Settings. That is very confusing to me and would like to see if possibly the upgrade to 6.7 had a bug, or if something is wrong with my system (by the way I have two and did the upgrade on both and both do not show eth0 in Network Settings!).

Please advise if you know anything.

Thank you,

Martin
