DEMAND=yes does not work?
$ fgrep -r DEMAND /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-ppp:if [ "${DEMAND}" = "yes" -a
-f /var/run/ppp-${CONFIG}.pid ] ; then
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp: if [ "${DEMAND}" != yes -a
"$TYPE" != "xDSL" ] ; then
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp:if [ ${DEMAND} = yes ] ; then
both bugs, should be initscript issues. reassigning The provider name stuff should be fixed in the current update in testing, initscripts-7.42.1-1. Yes am experiencing the same. Really anoying thing is that rh9 did it well and fedora doesn't. I tried to put in my t-online account data since there is a special form on fedora (the same as in rh9). I can't even enter the provider data since I can't click on "OK". When I setup a regular PPP then it will let me enter the data. Also the i-net wizard works for the PPP connection. One Activated I cannot access the internet. I saw a comment on this in this forum http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110592 not sure if it works but will try and tell later... Thx so far Does this persist after the initscripts update? Closing, no response. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: The Internet Configuration Wizard (internet druid) asks for a provider name when trying to configure an ADSL connection. It uses this name to create the config file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<name>, but this file *must* have the name 'ifcfg-ppp0'. So, the only way to configure an ADSL connection with the Internet Configuration Wizard seems to be to give 'ppp0' as the 'provider name'. Moreover, the 'Dial on Demand' does not work. The Internet Configuration Wizard puts the line 'DEMAND=yes' in ifcfg-ppp0. This does not work (as in Red Hat 9). Solution: use e.g. DEMAND=600 (where 600 means: close connection after an idle time of 600 seconds). This allows 'Dial on Demand' (but the connection will never get closed automatically). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure an ADSL connection with the Internet Configuration Wizard (GNOME) and use as 'provider name' something different from 'ppp0' 2. try to connect to the internet Additional info: The first bug ('provider name') seems to be new in Fedora Core 1, whereas the second bug ('Dial on Demand') existed already in Red Hat 9.
