Description of problem: Selecting dialup networking during software customization at install time results in Modem connection being among the kinds of new network connections that can be selected in system-config-network. But when you choose that selection it tells you that kudzu is required. Kudzu is not included in the installation CD ROM set, so if you only have dialup networking you can't get the network up to download it from the repository. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.5.99-1.fc12.noarch (In Fedora 13 Alpha distribution) How reproducible: absolutely Steps to Reproduce: 1. During installation, select dialup networking support during software customization 2.After system is up, system->administration->network, click New, click Modem connection 3.Read message saying kudzu is required. (At least this is better than it wuz - it used to crash the program.) Need to either install kudzu automatically as a result of selecting dialup networking support, or rewrite the application so it doesn't need kudzu. Additional info:

Good fix. On F13 Alpha system I removed old system-config-network and kudzu and the existing modem connection. Then installed the new system-config-netowrk-1.6.0-2. and was able to create the modem connection. It said it couldn't find a modem, but that's OK as I know the modem is ttyS1 and put that in and it worked.
yeah, that's the trade-off: the Kudzu code did the detection, so without it, you need to know the device node for the modem. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
